Savor California Food and Wine: No rules, no worries
July 14, 2004
Commonwealth Club, San Francisco

Food and wine pairing is an oft-used euphemism for Chardonnay with fish and Cabernet with meat, but there are so many more tasty options. Attendees were encouraged to experiment with tastes and pairings presented by gourmet specialty food producers, small wineries and micro-breweries: Savor the flavors, throw out the rulebook and do their own thing.

The tasting was followed by an interactive discussion led by Jane St. Claire, SavorCalifornia.com, with a panel of:
Cindy Callahan, Bellwether Farm Cheeses
Patrick Llerena, Chateau Felice Winery
S�bastien Espinasse, Fabrique D�lices Charcuterie
Julie Simpson, McCray Ridge Winery
Cal Uchida, Skipstone Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil
