This is another weekly assignment created to encourage you to engage more deeply in the real
deal about wine: experiencing it as it was created for, as an accompaniment with food. Wine is
food, dude! So here is a great chance to see what it is like to pair a region's wine with a regions
cuisine...albeit in a totally local venue that uses locally produced foods, as organic as possible,
and does a nice job of creative fusion to represent the cuisine of the wine regions of the world
that each pairing focuses on.
Worth 50 points every meal you participate in, a maximum of 4 for the semester. What to blog
about? Document the hell out of your experience. I want pics of you and your friends at the dinner
table, and the food and the wine. I want you to take notes of the dishes you eat, tasting notes of
the wines you have (including info on each wine, as well as your tasting/smell descriptions of
those wines) and how those wines paired with the foods. Write up a blog entry containing all
these details and your overall impressions of the experience.
How cool is that for a grade? Please give me some personal feedback as soon as possible on if
this is a good experience and a learning opportunity for you, as this is a first time experiment.
Make sure to have captions on all your photos!
