Five Course Food & Wine Pairing with Chef
Luis Martinez

** Exectuive Chef Luis Martinez from Teresa's Cafe **

Join Winemaker Thomas Nye and Executive Chef Luis Martinez for a five course food and wine pairing at The Grape Escape on February 24 at 7:30 PM. The Executive Chef of Teresa’s Café in Princeton will prepare a five course dinner for you with each course paired with wines from around the world. Chef Luis Martinez has a completely unique culinary point of view, fusing Italian & Latin American cuisine.

The evening begins with a wine tasting directly from our barrels. Try a Chardonnay from the Russian River in California or a Montepulciano from Italy…directly from the barrel. We’ll discuss each region, how the wines are made and the intricacies of tasting wine properly for full enjoyment.

As each course is presented to you, we will match a specific wine to each course and discuss how and why the wines match. As a gift, every ticket will also go home with a bottle of our award winning Olive Oil, courtesy of The Grape Escape. The cost is $90 a person or $165 for a couple (gratuity included.)
