Rockwell's Steak House is thrilled to offer a top-notch culinary experience with its first Wine Makers Dinner on Wednesday, September 26. It's a collaboration between distributor Moet Hennessy USA and Chef Tim Childres that's sure to strike delicious sparks. The six course meal kicks off with duck confit rillettes on Parmesan peppercorn crustini, paired with Chandon Étoile Rosé, a sparkling California wine. Next, a Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc is paired with oysters on the half shell with a crunch bread and bacon topping. Creamy lobster claw voulavent will go great with a Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay, followed by a marinated olive medley paired with Chandon's Pinot Meunier. Tournedos Rossini on a sourdough crust goes with a Newton Claret, and to wrap things up, enjoy some midnight moon-aged goat cheese with truffles, Granny Smith apples and buttery toast points along with another round of the Étoile Rosé. "This event has the 'wow' factor," says Oliver House manager Brian Welborn. And with Moet Hennessy Midwest manager Kent Retter speaking between each course, you'll learn about the wines, and the wineries where they are made, as you enjoy them.
$75. 7pm. In the Oliver House's historic lobby, 27 Broadway. 419-243-1302 or www.theoliverhousetoledo.com for reservations. —MD
