This program is going to be a hoot!
There are so many fun food and wine events going on this time of year and I’ll be sharing not only the what, where and when but giving you the background of the events and in most cases that charitable organizations the reap the benefit.
1st up is Doug Reed, Midwest regional manager for Riedel – the World Premier wine glass maker. If you haven’t had the chance to attend one of the many comparative tastings lately you’ll want to jump on this.
Join All Things Barbecue in welcoming Riedel, for an entertaining and educational wine tasting experience. Doug Reed will demonstrate how choosing the appropriate stemware can enhance your wine tasting and awaken your palate. The shape of a glass impacts not only the visual perception of a wine, but its bouquet and flavor, as well – profoundly informing overall enjoyment. Reed will show how the same wine can taste and smell completely different when served in assorted glasses. We will be tasting selected wines along with small bites prepared by Chef Tom Jackson in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, using Riedel’s new Veritas Wine Tasting Set (a $138.00 retail value) which guests will take home as a parting gift. The four glasses included in the set include the Oak Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet, and Pinot Noir. For reservations and info
Then Dave Haglund stops by to talk about the Old Cowtown Wine Mosey. Only at Cowtown could wine tasting and stagecoach rides make such a perfect combination. The Museum is hosting its 7th Annual Wine Mosey from 4-8 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 20. Tickets are $50 per person, and they can be purchased online, in person at Cowtown or by phone at (316) 303-8100. The event is sponsored by Historic Wichita Cowtown, Inc., and it is a fundraiser for the Museum.
Attendees may visit wine stations located inside Cowtown Buildings to taste a varied assortment of red and white wines. Western casual attire and comfortable shoes are recommended. Dinner will be out doors where visitors will be surrounded by the sound of live engtertainment. Hors d’oeuvres will be provided by The Double Tree by Hilton Airport with a barbecue dinner courtesy of Cargill and the Wagonmasters. There will be gunfight re-enactments, stagecoach rides, a show by the Dixie Lee Saloon Girls and outdoor antique bowling. Rounding out the entertainment will be a live auction with fabulous goods and services.
Last but not least I’ll be talking to the winner of the Oldtown Farmer’s Market Annual Iron Chef Cookoff competition. I’ll been judging Saturday morning at the market along with Denise Neal of the Wichta Eagle, Jason Fabres of Taste & See and my wife Beth from AIWF Wichita. The competitors this year are returning champ Chef Ben George; Intrust Bank Arena, Chef Travis Russell; Public at the Brickyard, Chef Stephanie Hand; Whole Foods Market, and Chef Paul Freimuth; Hyatt Harvest Kitchen.
2013 Andrew Murray Vineyards Syrah Tous les Jours
This vintage is remarkably dark and full-bodied, and yet it has such gentle tannins. It is truly a pleasure to drink, especially at the price. Lots of fruit and spices here… no need to wax poetic about this one as it tastes just plain yummy.-

Wine Enthusiast – “Perhaps one of the best wines for the money available right now, Andrew Murray delivers aromas of cherry, blackberry, lavender and a white pepper wow factor on the very inviting, florally driven nose. The wine looks silky in the glass, and flavors of black cherry, anise, violet and oregano are easily accessible to a wide variety of palate preferences.
