Monthly Pairing Dinners
/The Monthly Pairing Dinners at M’tucci’s feature creative new dishes that pair with interesting beverages from breweries, wineries and distillers. The dinners also have become an evening of community, of celebration and of good cheer.
The most recent dinner at M’tucci’s Bar Roma, had all of these elements in abundance. The featured beverages of the evening were provided by Jefferson’s and Rabbit Hole, two distinctive whiskey distilleries from Kentucky. They brought a distinctive selection of stellar bourbons and Chef Damien and team created an exemplary menu to go with each bourbon.
Past dinners featuring spirits like tequila or whiskey paired a cocktail with each course. On Tuesday night, four of the courses came with a straight pour of bourbon, with small eyedroppers or glasses of water, bitters, simple syrup, house made lemonade, and ginger beer on each table. There was only one prepared cocktail, a boulevardier, mixed and served from an impressive ice sculpture. Enjoy the video and see why you shouldn’t ever miss a M’tucci’s Pairing Dinner.
The next Five-Course Pairing Dinner will be held at M’tucci’s Italian on June 8th and will feature wines and spirits from local Vara Winery/Distillery. Vara is an international family of Spanish and American wines and spirits celebrating the origin of the American wine experience thanks to the historical connection of Spain and New Mexico.
Our Pairing Dinner will feature four Vara wines and 2 cocktails. Start the evening off with a welcome glass of their Cava, which is overseen by famed winemaker Laurent Gruet. The 1st course will be a Negroni using Vara Gin and Sweet Vermouth. A cocktail with their Blanco rum will be served with Dessert. Watch for details in this space or on the M’tucci’s Italian Facebook page.
