Nibbling News -- September 2008 This month we return to the cuisine of Spain and enjoy the coastal region of Galicia!
The Heat is Back! And we're keeping the flavors sizzling!
Did you miss us pouring reserve wines like the Pisoni ’04 or ’83 Phelps Insignia at last week’s Art & Wine Festival in Lafayette?
Make it up right here in Pleasant Hill at the PH Art Jazz & Wine Festival, October 4th & 5th, where we’ll pull out some other gems
All month we’ve been brightening your palettes with the fresh summer flavors of Galicia and “Green Spain.” But TONIGHT, you can get it all with our 4th annual Spanish theme night: “An Evening in Santiago de Compostela”
You don’t have to make the historic pilgramage across northern Spain to get the Galician classic like Pimientos de Padron, Empanadas Gallegos, & Viadas(Galician sea scallops). Come by and wash down our traditional Spanish tapas with a flight of effervescent Galician sidra, bright aromatic Albarinos or spicy, brooding Tempranillos.
Next Thursday, we're delighted to present our third annual Oktoberfest Festival
Featuring a broad selection of Bavarian charcuterie, Daniel’s always popular sauerbraten, deconstructed Holstein Duck & blaukraut along with a great selection of German biers & elegant Rieslings & Gewurz.
Limited seating, so make your reservations now!
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008 Seating from 5:00 to 9:30pm [reservations]

We invite all of you to come see us at the Ferry Building on October 5th, when we’re paired with Happy Quail Farms to produce hors d’oeuvres along with 20 other Bay Area chefs for CUESA’s 6th Annual Sunday Supper, a huge benefit for sustainable cuisine in the Bay Area. David at Happy Quail grows some of the most flavorful produce in the Bay Area, and if you’ve eaten here over the last few months, you’ve probably eaten some of his fantastic Pimientos de Padron, sweet & savory piquillos, earthy & deep Andean squash & brilliantly flavored rhubarb. We’re really looking forward to this partnership, and truly hope we’ll see you there!
