Duelin' Winos

Last night (Wed March 5) we attend the much-anticipated dual-vineyard wine tasting at Crescent City Bistro, along with our friends over at 4KMnD. This wine dinner featured wines from both Four Vines and Vigil. We had a familiarity with both these wineries: Vigil has been one of the house Zinfadels at CCB for some time, and we had tasted Four Vines at the Boston Wine Expo. Regular readers will remember that I had spoken not-so-nicely about the Four Vines winemaker, Christian, after meeting him at the Wine Expo (and he responded). Well, I take it all back. He was excellent and a lot of fun at the wine tasting. If you can find any Four Vines, I would highly suggest it.

The absolute stand-out of the night for me was the dessert: Chocolate Cherry Jubilee paired with Four Vines Port. The dessert alone was great, and when paired with the Port it was absolutely fabulous. The rest of the menu consisted of: taro root fritters, smoked salmon, four pork gumbo, and Carribean stewed chicken as the main entrée.
