FOOD FOR THOUGHT:CHILI, CHOCOLATE & WINE

Join us Saturday, July 24th from 2-5 p.m. at Tasting Room & Courtyard. Experience the unusual taste explosion of chocolate with a subtle heat and tongue-tingling sensation that accompanies it from chili pepper. Together this odd couple offers complex, fascinating flavors. We will explore chocolate and chili as partners in the culinary world from Oaxaca Mole and shrimp with vanilla bean and paprika, to wood fired, peppered pizza, and chocolate cayenne truffles. It’s a taste treat sublime. And what better to accompany these dishes than cool, hearty reds like Syrah or Cabernet Franc. $25 per person, Wine Club Members $15. Please RSVP to 805-344-2107 or e-mail tastingroom@bedfordwinery.com.

NEW DEAL DINNER DANCE: GET YOUR HOEDOWN!

“Recipes, News and Goings-On from the FDR White House”

Stimulate the economy and join us for a complete evening of great wines, dinner created from the White House Cookbook (featuring Country Captain Chicken in honor of our musical guests), and entertainment with a political bent – even if it is from the 1940s. The similarities from this era are intriguing. Could there be an answer to our recovery from the past? Well we are not going to let your little grey cells work too hard. Following will be a genuine square dance called by Cory Marie with music from Triple Foot Chicken. The name alone is worth the price of admission. Kick your heels and let your cares melt away. Reservations are necessary. Tickets are $40 each; $30 for wine club members. EARLY BIRD SPECIAL: Make reservations by March 21st and get another $5 off per ticket. Call 805-344-2107 or e-mail tastingroom@bedfordwinery.com.
