Do you want to experience a night of French wines and dishes? On Wednesday, October 16<\/strong>, City Grocery<\/strong> in Oxford<\/strong> will offer a special dining experience in collaboration with renowned wine distributor Kermit Lynch<\/strong><\/a>. This special night promises a five-course meal handcrafted by City Grocery’s Chef Jon Davis<\/strong>, a.k.a. \u201cJD,\u201d paired with a selection of fine French wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City Grocery general manager Jennifer Nelson Pascoe<\/strong> shared that the wine selection process was thoroughly hand-picked when planning the evening. \u201cWe wanted to take guests on a journey through France\u2019s wine regions,\u201d she said. \u201cAfter tasting the wines, we noted what foods might pair well and handed it over to Chef JD to design the menu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chef JD was excited about the opportunity to create dishes that complement such fine wines. \u201cKermit Lynch\u2019s portfolio allows us to pair their wines with various menu items, from Mushroom Conserva to Pescado Frito,\u201d he said. \u201cThe wines were chosen first, and then my sous chef, Mat Wandell<\/strong>, and I brainstormed some of our favorite French dishes that would go well with the selected wines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Pascoe\u2019s favorite wines introduced is Kuentz Bas Alsace Blanc, a crisp and refreshing wine that Pascoe is particularly excited to reintroduce. \u201cIt\u2019s a rare gem, and we\u2019re thrilled to share it with our guests,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kermit Lynch wine dinner promises to be an unforgettable experience. For $140 per person, attendees will be treated to a culinary journey that celebrates the best of France\u2019s wine regions. Don\u2019t miss out! Tickets are limited for this exclusive event. Reserve your spot here<\/strong><\/a>.
