On November 5 we held our very first Wine Talk & Taste event at LEX 530. What a great evening we had. The theory behind our Wine Talk & Taste event is to educate our guests on the many different wines of the world, eat some delicious food and meet hopefully make new friends.

Each month our LEX 530 Wine Director Stan Minden and I select five to six different types of wine to present at the event. Our Executive Chef Chad Coryn prepares an assortment of appetizers to pair with the evening’s wines.

The evening is great and works like this: Come to the LEX 530 Event Center at 6 pm, select some tasty nibbles from Chef Chad’s assortment of appetizers and then take a seat. When everyone is seated the first wine of the evening is poured. Once everyone has tasted the wine, Stan and I will discuss it. It goes that way throughout the evening. After each pouring, the wine is discussed at length and any of your questions are answered.
The wines for our first event were:
- 2018 Mondave Fumé Blanc
- 2016 Altemura Fiano
- 2017 Ruffino Modus
- 2013 3 Clicks Malbec
- 2013 3 Clicks Petite Sirah
The appetizers for our first event were:
- Cheese stuffed mushrooms
- Mezcal marinated shrimp and elotes spoons
- Short rib wellingtons
- Cranberry walnut crostini with cambozola and roasted pear chutney
- Herbed cheese stuffed peppadews
- Bacon wrapped dates with chorizo and cream cheese

Wine Talk & Taste gives our guests the opportunity to not only ask questions about the evening’s wine, but they can also ask any other wine questions they might have.
Our next event is Thursday, January 29, 2021, and the cost is $25 per person. The wines that are tasted throughout the evening are all available for purchase.
