Downtown's 90-year-old San Antonio Winery has been celebrating the food and wine of several global regions this summer, holding monthly themed festivals. In July, the San Antonio offered up a "Taste of Italy," and this past weekend we attended the winery's "Taste of the Americas."
The event included tastings of several Mexican, Chilean and Argentine wines, along with Mexican, Cuban, Peruvian, Brazilian, Chilean, Bolivian, Argentine and San Salvadoran bites. Dancers, meanwhile, presented some live entertainment. A few pics:
The tastings included San Antonio Winery's own Maddalena Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. From Mexico, Guadalupe Valley's L.A. Cetto wines included Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Nebbiolo. From Chile, Tres Pinos Viognier -- which San Antonio Winery has started bottling exclusively for Trader Joe's -- was offered, along with Miguel Torres "Santa Digna" Cabernet Sauvignon. And from Argentina, the event included a Malbec and Tempranillo from Mendoza's Correntina.
San Antonio Winery is serving up one more food and wine festival event in September: The "Taste of the Mediterranean," on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 1 p.m. (I won't be able to make it -- that's the night of the Emmys. But you go suck down some wine for me.)
