Terra Sonoma Seminar and Tasting

Terra Sonoma Seminar and Tasting

October 16, 2010 | Seatings at 11am and 2:30pm
J Vineyards & Winery, Bubble Room
Event open to: All Welcome

Join us in the Bubble Room for a special seated wine and food tasting with local food artisans Justin Miller and Karin Warnelius, owners of Terra Sonoma and producers of Verjus and Saba. Learn how these grape-based culinary creations are made and the art of using them in a variety of recipes. Spend time with Justin and Karin and sample their products alongside J’s signature wines.

Executive Chef Mark E. Caldwell will prepare an exquisite 2-course guided wine and food pairing based around Verjus and Saba and library selections from J Vineyards & Winery.

Verjus is made from un-ripened green grapes and is an excellent alternative for recipes that call  for vinegar or vinaigrette. Saba is a thick, sweet syrup made from the “must” of fermented grapes and makes a delicious topping on ice cream or can be used to sweeten cookies, polenta or yogurt. Justin and Karin produce these chemical and pesticide-free products following current sustainable farming standards.

Seatings at 11am and 2:30pm, limited to 20 people per session
$60, $45 for Club J members
