Catena Wine Dinner

4 Courses & Wines $75/person

We are kicking off our winter 2012 wine dinner series at Caminito in true Argentine fashion! 

Thursday, January 19th we will be offering a four course wine dinner featuring the highly acclaimed "Alta" series wines from Bodega Catena Zapata. The Catena family has always been at the forefront of Argentine winemaking, for this reason it is only natural to begin this year's wine dinner series with some of their best wines! 

These exquisite wines will be paired with a menu that embodies the simple steak house elegance that is the sole of true Argentine cuisine. The menu emphasizes both the use of traditional Argentine cooking methods and ingredients. This is sure to be a popular wine dinner so be sure to book your reservations early!

The perfect wine for a relaxing late summer dinner is in our opinion at Caminito actually something more than wine... sangria. On this evening we will feature a menu composed of three different types of sangria, paired with a menu of light summertime fare. The wines we will be basing our sangrias on are from the Crios de Susana Balbo winery in Mendoza Argentina and are all produced using sustainable agricultural methods.

We prepare our sangria by blending mottled citrus, sugar, a touch of fizz, juice, fresh fruit, and of course chilled wine, so to produce three very different sangrias starting with the wine we will be mixing up the recipe of each one.
