Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Zinfandel wines from one of California’s premier wine-producing regions will be showcased during a special five-course wine pairing dinner at Pelagia Trattoria on Thursday, April 14, 2016.
Philip Hahn, chairman of Hahn Family Wines, will present five wines from the family-owned winery that was founded more than 30 years ago. A family-owned winery located in the Santa Lucia Highlands (SLH) appellation of Monterey County, California, Hahn Family Wines founders Nicolaus (Nicky) and Gaby Hahn purchased land in Monterey County in the late 1970s and have made wine in SLH since 1980. Early on, Nicky Hahn saw the wine grape growing potential of SLH, and in 1988 he spearheaded efforts to establish SLH as an American Viticulture Area. Today, Hahn Family Wines owns one of the largest shares of planted vines in the region.
The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with a reception featuring the 2014 Hahn SLH Chardonnay and includes the following wines paired with each course:
2014 Hahn SLH Chardonnay
Seared diver scallops, Matari baby oyster mushrooms, confit asparagus and roasted cauliflower
2013 SLH Pinot Noir
Lacquered Durham Ranch squab, English peas, toasted Pignoli nuts, organic quinoa
2013 Lucienne Doctor’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (93 points Wine Spectator)
Dutch Valley veal loin, sautéed sweetbreads, fresh corn polenta, braised rainbow chard
2014 Smith & Hook Cabernet Sauvignon
Niman Ranch braised short ribs, celery root and parsnip puree, green garlic, Brussels Sprouts
2014 Boneshaker Zinfandel
A fabulous finish to be revealed that evening.
