Little Gems Salads become part of a fancy LA wine tasting event.

Wine buyers, sommeliers and media types got to feast on this tasty Little Gems Salad expertly paired with several different wines at a recent event at Tavern restaurant in Los Angles. Lucky! Once again LA beats us. NYC needs to hurry up and start offering Little Gems. :)

 

"Our first course from the set menu was an absolutely of-the-moment salad of sweet shrimp, lump crab meat, fresh-cut avocado and little gem lettuces treated judiciously with buttermilk dressing.

Grahm paired the salad with three different white wines: 2008 Ca’ Del Solo Albarino, which he described as “spare, lean and acoustic,” 2008 Ca’ Del Solo Muscat - “herbal, wilder than Muscat blanc,” and 2007 Le Cigare Blanc a biodynamic wine using 60% Roussanne, 40% Grenache Blanc grapes, from Beeswax Vineyard in Arroyo Seco. The crisp minerality of the Albarino paired especially well with the seafood." (http://www.foodgps.com/tavern-bonny-doon-lunch-–-los-angeles-ca-–-june-9-2009/)
