Splash! Winemaker Dinners

Splash! is a series of quarterly winemaker dinners that celebrate the magic of food and wine pairings. Hear from the winemaker and the chef about how to match differing flavor profiles in wine and food, as well as understand why specific pairings work better than others.

The next Splash! dinner takes place at 6 p.m. on November 15 and features Chehalem, a winery based in Newberg, Oregon, that specializes in cool-climate varietals. The cost is $79 per person, plus tax and gratuity. For reservations, call (206) 903-5291 or e-mail tasterestaurant@tastesam.com.

Sunday Suppers

Sunday Suppers are about making connections. We gather the community around the table for great food and engaging conversation. Each evening will feature a farmer or artisan, who will be on hand to share his story and his products. Chef Christopher Conville will present a five-course meal inspired by the season’s best from the guest producer.

The next Sunday Supper takes place at 5:30 p.m. on November 25 and features Full Circle Farm, which grows organic produce in Carnation, Washington. The cost for dinner and matching wines is $70 per person plus tax and gratuity. For reservations, call (206) 903-5291 or e-mail tasterestaurant@tastesam.com.
