Charity Tasting Event Features Top Wines and Nationally Renowned Chef
If delectable wines aren’t enough to draw a crowd to the newest suburban event, certainly a chance to taste the culinary delights of a nationally renowned chef will be.
On Saturday September 25 at 7-10PM, St. Mark’s Church at 337 Ridge Rd in Barrington Hills, IL, is hosting an evening of “Corks & Forks – The Best American Wines You’ve Never Tasted” featuring small-vintage, award-winning American wines from lesser-known wine regions of the United States. Ten of the top American wines will be featured for tasting with a twist unusual for a suburban event – each wine will be paired with a dish from celebrity chef David Carrier.
Formerly of The French Laundry, Trio, and Avenue Sea, Carrier’s triumphant return to Chicago with the opening of Kith and Kin has been one of the most chronicled culinary occurrences of the past year. The restaurant has been heralded as the “Best New Neighborhood Restaurant” of 2010 while critics have raved about the food, touting Chef Carrier as “ingenious” (Phil Vettel).
The event will feature a silent auction for those looking for a unique gift or getaway. Advance registration is now closed but limited tickets may still be available at the door for $75. Participants must be over the age of 21 and we reserve the right to require proof of age at the event.
