Tannic Tongue Winemaker Dinner Series, #3 of 2013
Lauterbach Cellars at Woodward Table

A line-up of delicious wines to drink from Stew Lauterbach with Chef Jeffrey Buben's award winning cuisine. Woodward Table is the newest restaurant in Chef Buben's repertoire, following on the auspicious heels of Vidalia and Bistro Bis. Thanks to Omar Hishmeh, GM at Woodward Table and superlative wine taster, we have a beautiful menu to pair with Dr. Lauterbach's vigorous, health-uplifting (I'm trying to use non-medical terms in order to avoid trouble with the regulatory agencies!), and consumately food-friendly Pinot Noir and Syrah based wines.

Tannic Tongue Winemaker Dinner Series, #2 of 2013
EiEiO at Addie's

Addie’s Restaurant will be partner with Oregon’s EIEIO Winery to host a four course wine dinner prepared by Executive Chef Rick Cook. Chef Cook, who spent the 2012 harvest season working with Jay McDonald, winemaker/owner of EIEIO at his Willamette Valley winery has prepared a seasonal menu of local ingredients, specifically designed to complement EIEIO’s Pinot Noirs. McDonald and Cook will lead a lively discussion of the wines and food, respectively, which include a vintage vertical of Pinot Noirs from 2007 through 2009, and a dinner showcasing locally sourced meats, seafood and spring bounty. EIEIO Winery is a boutique producer, making less than 1,800 cases of wine a year. EIEIO and Addie’s have a shared emphasis on sustainable farming and high quality sourcing.
