Wine Tasting on
TREASURE ISLAND
Bodega Wine Estates Hosts Irish Stew Cook-off, March 18
by Terri Hiller
Bodega Wine Estate is going green! Irish green that
is! At our last food and wine pairing, I asked our
winemakers what they would cook for St. Patrick’s
Day and all three gave the same answer…but the
similarities stopped right there! These master chefs all
began describing their mouthwatering recipes for Irish
stew, argued over lamb or beef, with or without
carrots, Guinness or red wine, barley or cabbage.
About the only thing they agreed upon were the
potatoes! And when it came to discussing the spices, I’ve never heard
more spirited arguments both for or against rosemary.
There really wasn’t much else to do but to showcase all three
recipes. Bodega Wine Estates, home to an incredible case of talented
and personable winemakers, will be hosting an Irish stew cook-off on
Sunday, March 18. Each of the award-winning vintners will prepare
his finest version of this hearty, wine-friendly meal. Never before have
so many wines joined their makers for a food pairing bout to make
the Irish proud.
Bodega Wine Estate’s well-appointed tasting room will be just the
first stop. Follow your nose and meander
through the winery to discover more
“stations” where food and wine are paired
to thrill your senses, satisfy your hunger
and excite the palate. Each of the
winemakers: Paul Hoffman (Hoffman
Family Cellars), Josh Stein (Stein Family
Wines) and Robert Amox (Knightswood
Vineyards and Winery) will be there to
chat with you, defend their recipes and
tantalize you with their wines.
Space is limited and you would do best reserving your place for
the event in advance. This winery has a reputation for pulling out all
of the stops to guarantee the guests have a great, memorable time and
is excpected to sell out. Reservations are available at

This is a dog-friendly winery and accommodations are always
made for Fido as well. Just one additional note, come hungry!
