domaine547 events: Tablas Creek wine dinner at Campanile, June 3rd, 2008
We’re excited to announce that we’re hosting a wine dinner at Campanile Restaurant on June 3rd, with the esteemed Tablas Creek Vineyard. Not only does Tablas Creek have one of the best wine blogs around, written by winery manager Jason Haas, but their wines rock.
For those of you who don’t know, they are owned in part by the Perrin family of Chateau de Beaucastel in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and they have painstakingly brought over clones of all the Beaucastel Southern Rhone varieties and replanted them in Paso Robles (see full history of the winery here). The results are incredible, and you will be able to taste through the entire line-up of Tablas Creek wines at Campanile, including their Vin de Paille dessert wine which is tiny production and usually only available at the winery.
Campanile has developed a five course menu (plus passed Hors d’Oeuvres and an Intermezzo) to complement the 11 wines featured. Here’s what it looks like
Tray Passed Hors d’Oevures:
Cumin Scented Shrimp wrapped with grilled zucchini and Chicken Liver Pate Crostini paired with 2006 Vermentino
First Course:
Fava Bean Angolotti with sauteed pea tendrils paired wtih 2006 Cotes de Tablas Blanc and 2005 Grenache Blanc
Second Course:
Spring Squash Risotto with Meyer lemon preserves paired with 2005 Roussanne and 2006 Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc
Intermezzo:
Fried Totten Oyster with a nectarine mignonette paired with 2007 Rosé
Third Course:
Skewered Lamb, carmelized onion tarte tatin, tome de savoie paired with 2005 Cotes de Tables and 2005 Syrah
Fourth Course:
Roast Squab, sliced beets, pearl onions, mustard mashed potatoes paired with 2005 Mourvedre and 2005 Esprit de Beaucastel
Fifth Course:
Dessert paired with 2005 Vin de Paille dessert wine

2008 “Bebame” Red, El Dorado County, California
Cabernet Franc (65%) and Gamay (35%) from - gasp - California! And only 13% ABV, pretty modest by California standards. If I tasted this blind I would probably have said it’s from the Loire Valley. It has pretty much nothing in common with the full bodied iterations of Cab Franc coming out of Napa. Juicy, light, delicious quaffing wine.$18 a bottle
2006 Telegramme Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge
Really balanced and smooth, this is a bargain of a Chateauneuf. Yeah, the 07s are lauded but what would I prefer to drink? This! It’s the second label of Vieux Telegraphe, from the same property but from younger vines. And it’s a deal at $33 a bottle.2006 or bust!

Just a quick note to let you know that a week from today, on Monday, March 8th, 2010, I’ll be hosting the first domaineLA wine tasting event at Susan Feniger’s Street, with the Manincor winery of Italy. The importer and winemaker will both be present to chat about the five wines being poured (including an unusual and delicious dry moscato), and the wines will be paired with light bites.
The best news is that the event will cost just $15 a person…a bargain! Swing by between 6PM and 8PM — I hope to see lots of you there!

wine jargon
Frizzante
From Wikipedia: Frizzante is an Italian wine term term for semi-sparkling wine (as opposed to Spumante, which is generally used for fully sparkling wines). Frizzante wines generally owe their bubbles to a partial secondary fermentation in tank. You might notice a light fizz or tingly sensation on the tongue with a Frizzante wine, compared to the more carbonated sensation that more fully sparkling wines yield.
Scorekage
Okay, so we made up this word yesterday after a great restaurant experience. We brought a bottle of wine with us, expecting to pay a corkage fee. But the restaurant either forgot to charge us the $15, or decided to be nice to us. We scored! Hence, “scorekage” has entered our lexicon. This can also refer to BYO friendly restaurants that don’t charge for corkage under any circumstances.
