2008 CRUISIN' THE TROPICS WINE AND FOOD PAIRING WEEKEND
Break free of the winter doldrums with a weekend full of inventive,
tropical foods paired with regional wines.
Watkins Glen, NY (March 7, 2008) – The Seneca Lake Wine Trail presents their annual Cruisin' The Tropics Weekend, March 29 and 30, 2008 featuring tropically-themed dishes creatively paired with Seneca Lake wines at over 32 different wineries, helping residents and visitors alike break free of the winter blues!
Observed Paul Thomas, executive director of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, "These events are a great way for serious or casual fans of our wines to experience a wide variety of wines, safely, enjoying them with creatively paired foods at the same time. The "pairing" of food and wine is an ancient art, capably rendered by our passionate winemakers and chefs throughout all of these events. We encourage folks to dismiss the months-long winter, throw on a festive Hawaiin shirt or lei and break themselves loose from Old Man Winter!"
Most participating wineries opt to decorate their winery complimenting the themed foods they are preparing, adding to the sunny nature of this wine and food pairing weekend. This year, Lakewood Vineyards will be creating "The Greek Isle of Crete", providing attendees with a sample of their innovative Feta & Mint Risoto alongside their award-winning Carpe Vinum wine. Wagner Vineyard's popular "Wagner Wave" theme continues again this year, serving delicious Caribbean Jerk Ham Salad and featuring their sand bar with a variety of fun games, some with prizes!
Tickets for this event can be bought online at www.senecalakewine.com, or purchased directly from the Trail office by calling toll-free at 877-536-2717. Limited numbers of tickets are available, with many events selling out every year.
