Virtual tasting to highlight California selections
Bailey’s General Store will offer a virtual wine tasting on May 12, featuring two California certified sustainable wines and food pairings by Chef Karl Hamme, with the Sanibel Catering Company.
Anthony Riboli, a fourth-generation winemaker, will join Bailey’s wine steward Calli Johnson to talk about the Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon from San Simeon Wines.
The sauvignon blanc is a bright refreshing wine with intense flavors of citrus and pear accompanied by bright aromas of white peach and lime zest. It will be paired with a Greek-inspired chicken salad on pita chips. Notes of blackberry and ripe plum with touches of cocoa and cedar can be found in the cabernet sauvignon. It will be paired with a braised beef short rib with a cremini mushroom polenta and a kabocha squash toast with red miso jam.
Those wishing to participate can purchase a tasting package by May 9 and pick up the wines with food pairings on the day of the event from 9 a.m. to noon at Bailey’s, at 2477 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel.
