I wasnt expecting to find something like this in The Villages (though would be nice), but I am looking forward to a wine tasting event next Friday at the Sawgrass Show Kitchen (two seatings, one at noon and the other at 3) - almost sold out - though not a wine pairing meal, snacks will be served with each pairing (charcuterie). I already attend the cooking classes there twice a week, so I am anticipating this coming up wine event - hope it will be a success, as I think there is an audience for those that enjoy fine wines here in The Villages.

Remember the charcuterie should be sampled after the first smell, swish and taste of each new wine, no matter how tempting it looks. There will be a great difference in the wine before and after food. Wine is meant to enhance the food paired with it.

We used to go to these at The Villages Carrabba's location soon after they first opened in 2005. I guess maybe 30 people (limit) would attend. Sold out in one day. They had the wine distributor/regional sales person pouring the wine and describing each. (I'll bet the distributor donated the wines.) We were seated at two long tables, family style, in the center of the main dining area on an off-night (like Monday or Tuesday). The food came out in a parade of servers. Compliments to the kitchen.
As time went on, the price went way up and the food became more ordinary. The wines dropped to ordinary level. They were sometimes a hodgepodge of labels/countries. I think each location does their own thing. We got to know the young man from the BOH that put the event together when it started here. He was great. (Long gone elsewhere.) So, we no longer spend $75++pp for these. Sorry you were disappointed. Easy to get on Ocala's mailing list and try theirs. Report back here if you go. TU. Skip |

I guess I'm not hoity-toity. My wine comes in a frosted bottle or a cardboard box. Bottom's up, y'all.
