8790310 - Corks and Cuisine–Spanish Sensation
Course Description
Join Chef Eliza Martin, Chopped Champion 2020, and Certified Sommelier Dane Kuta for an evening of Spanish sensations. We’ll prepare four original Spanish tapas (classic small dishes) and taste five regional Spanish wines. Our exciting evening will start with Cava, the Spanish version of champagne. Next, we’ll prepare an alluring plate of shaved Jamón Ibérico (Spanish ham) paired with authentic Manchego cheese while sipping a unique Spanish white wine named Viura. We’ll jump right into making a summertime Gazpacho (revered chilled Spanish soup) and traditional empanadas. With these classics, we’ll taste and learn about esteemed wines from the Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. The evening will culminate with our creation of Spanish torrijas (think delicious Spanish French Toast) while sampling a Spanish dessert wine. You’ll depart with one word in mind: sensational!
This is a collaboration between Certified Sommelier Dane Kuta and Chopped Champion Chef Eliza Martin. Discover the art of masterful food and wine pairing with our two premier courses that will transport you to different corners of the world.
