Everglades presents “Food for Thought” Vine & Dine Event

Enjoy an amazing five course gourmet menu made with ingredients that are not only good for the brain but decadent for the soul paired with the prestigious wines from Justin and Landmark Wineries. Our featured guest speaker is Mr. Joseph Spellman, one of only 118 Master Sommelier’s in the country. It is an event not to be missed! Chef Fred has sourced unique ingredients that are sure to give you a mental boost. The first course of Mixed Greens features a blend of black quinoa, kamut and barley with butternut squash and carrots tossed in a light citrus vinaigrette paired with the Justin Chardonnay. For the second course, Chef Fred is preparing fresh salmon smoked in green tea for a wonderful blend of flavors that pair amazingly with the Landmark Grand Detour Pinot Noir. The palate cleanser is an Herbes de Provence Sorbet that will get you ready for the entrée of grilled venison with a blueberry balsamic sauce and charred strawberries. Did you know that blueberries are one of the best super-foods for your brain known to actually reverse short term memory loss? The entrée is paired with the Justin Savant Proprietary Red Blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. And to end the dinner in true delight, Pastry Chef Stephan has prepared a duo dessert of dark chocolate and raspberry flan and Cointreau Chocolate mousse which paired with the Justin Obtuse Port truly provides the decadence to our soul.
