Fine Wine and Food on the Menu at Epulo

Washington winemaker Charlie Hoppes of Fidelitas Wines will host a six-course meal on Wednesday.

Ready for the perfect combination of food and wine?

Join and Fidelitas Wines Wednesday night at for what will surely be a delicious gourmet meal enhanced by expert wine pairings. The evening will be hosted by Charlie Hoppes of Fidelitas Wines, located in the Red Mountain region of southeast Washington, and guests will enjoy a meal cooked by Epulo executive chef Jeff Cruse.

“Jeff has prepared a meal to complement the wines,” said David Arista, owner of Arista Wine Cellars. “Charlie will talk about the wines served with each course.” Although this isn't the first winemaker's dinner facilitated by Arista Wine Cellars, the evening will mark the first one it has held at Epulo.

Cruse has prepared a mouthwatering prixe fixe dinner menu with six courses that includes roasted cauliflower and sage mousse, seared beef carpaccio and dark chocolate truffles dusted with cocoa. Featured Fidelitas wines include a Semillon 2008 accompanying the soup course, an Optu White 2008 with a Romaine and crispy prosciutto salad, and a Red Mountain Red 2007 courting those tasty truffles. A complete food and wine menu for the evening is available on the Fidelitas Wine Blog.

“It should be a really fun evening,” said Arista. “The wines from the tasting will be available for sale through Arista at the event.”

Tickets are still available for $75 per person, including wine and can be purchased by calling Epulo Bistro at 425-678-8680. Dinner will start at 6:30 p.m.

That is true about Citypark being in a lot of shade. Where's the skateboard park? Possibly a spotRead More at Edmonds Marina Beach??

A splash pad would be great, but that space is so shady - maybe next to the skateboard park instead.Read More

If you want to know what it's like to have your religion disrespected, try having school camps,Read More orchestra and band concerts and back-to-school nights on the holiest of your religious holidays (equivalent to Christmas and Easter). Everyone knows that an egg hunt is an Easter event whether it's called that or not. Everyone know that a holiday tree is really a Christmas tree. Trust me, the atheists and/or non-Christians are not trying to destroy Christianity. First, it would be impossible. Second, it would be too dangerous to us personally. Last, I personally respect other's traditions, but I'm not sure the same can always be said in reverse.

Don't we have more important things to worry about? Easter Egg, Egg Hunt, who cares? It's a funRead More community event. And thank you to the sponsers that make this happen.

First of all, the government is not supposed to promote any religion. Secondly, the Easter bunnyRead More and egg hunt has no historical religious significance that I can think of, even though this is part of an American tradition. I am good with deleting the word Easter, and would like to see a departure from any emphasis on candy, which only compounds the diabetic epidemic in this country. Sometimes it is good to rethink the wisdom of something simply because it is a "tradition".
