Dirty, dog-eared — A tour through time-tested recipe books
While she’s still looking for the perfect location to resurrect the shop, Beverley decided to try an experiment — thus the Wine and Cheese Tasting Gala this Sunday, June 24, a dual purpose event that celebrates Avalon’s receipt of a couple of honors: a Wine Spectator “Award of Excellence” (their fifth) and a new one, Wine Enthusiast ‘s “Restaurant Recognition Award,” silver level.
Expect fine wines and winemakers, including John and Kimberly Cabot with their latest, Kimberly’s Klamath River, Humboldt County Syrah 2004; Don Bremm from Moonstone Crossing; and Thomas Meagher of Riverbend Cellars. The wines will be paired with great cheeses, both international and local like Cypress Grove Chevre’s new Truffle Tremor. Also in attendance, some not-so-cheesy guests, like Henry Robertson with his famous olives and Wendy McCall of Sierra Madre Mushrooms with wild and cultivated mushrooms and fiddlehead ferns. Tickets for the Gala are $40. Advance reservations are suggested (445-0500).
