Underground New Orleans Food & Wine Event!!
Let's enjoy some Food and Wine!!
We will be tasting 3 wines from one of my favorite Vineyards, Washington's Red Diamond Estate!
1st~ Scallops Rockefeller Served with Red Diamond Chardonnay
This fruit-forward wine presents aromas of apple, pear and a hint of spice, bursting into the mouth with juicy honeydew melon and subtle oak. The finish is perfectly balanced between the acid and fruit.
2nd~Seafood Okra Gumbo with Red Diamond Shiraz
We experimented with different blends until the perfect one was created - a juicy, fruit-forward Shiraz with a bit of floral spice, courtesy of a splash of Viognier.
Aromas of black licorice, cloves, orange blossoms and a touch of freshly ground pepper lead to a velvety palate and linger on the finish.
3rd~ New Orleans BBQ Shrimp with Red Diamond Cabernet
Following the success of our Merlot, we introduced our Cabernet Sauvignon in 2004. Like a diamond, this multi-faceted wine has quickly become a crowd favorite.
Aromas of cassis and licorice with hints of leather precede a rich, velvety-textured palate of red fruit jam and a sweet touch of toasty oak on the long finish.
4th~Bread Pudding / Brandy Sauce with Presecco
Let me bring you back to the food of New Orleans. We are planning some very amazing dishes!

West Coast Double Red Ale
This is a classic West Coast-style imperial red ale brewed with medium crystal malts, centennial and cascade hops.
The color is a burnt amber with red highlights and the aroma has a spicy hop presence with moderate caramel malt accents.

3rd Course: Cho-Saiko Double IPA infused Grilled Mussels
with Fettuccine, Fire Roasted Tomatoes, & Garlic
Cho-Saiko Double IPA
Cho-Saiko is radical in Japanese surf slang. This is OB’s house Double IPA. Cho-Saiko is brewed year round as long as there is fermentation space. It is a big beer with big hop character. Dry hopped with five different hops to add to the hop experience.
1.082 SG | 1.010 FG | 9.7% abv.
Final Course: Old Viscosity Beeramisu
Old Viscosity
American Dark Strong Ale
“Not your Dad’s Wimpy 30 Weight is how our original label used to describe this massive chewy and thick beer.
Code named by our brewers-”The Big Black Nasty,” this is monstrous dark ale is brewed to no particular style. Thick and sludgy like oil from the crankcase of a wheat threshing combine, Old Viscosity blurs the boundaries of Porter, Stout, Old Ale and Barleywines.
A blended beer that mixes old and new brewing traditions into one finished beer, Old Viscosity starts out with 80% of the packaged beer produced from a stainless steel fermentation.
It then joins another 20% Old Viscosity (from a previous batch) that has been aging in bourbon barrels.
The blend of the two beers yields an incredibly rich and luscious ale that reveals chocolate and cocoa notes melded to silky body of burnt wood, vanilla and ash.
Malts – Two Row, Wheat, Domestic and English Crystal, Carafa III and Chocolate Malts
Hops – German Magnum
Yeast – White Labs California Ale and Proprietary Yeast Strains

THEY NEED YOUR HELP!
YOU CAN HELP!

Angels
The evidence is clear that the time for a change in foster care has come. There are currently over 4,500 foster children in San Diego County. At least 1,000 of those children are between birth and three years old.
Most are bounced from foster home to foster home, never finding a permanent placement.
This instability can cause permanent damage to infants and toddlers who are just learning to bond and attach.
