Unbeknown to the wonderful citizens of Central Wisconsin, this event has been a long time in the making. Well, not this specific event, but an event like this one…
We are absolutely psyched to announce the partnership of Cafe le Grand ( www.cafelegrand.com )and City Grill ( http://www.citygrillbistro.com/index.html ) to bring you an event like no other for Wausau & Central Wisconsin (at least in the 11 years since I’ve been around!). Together, along with one of our many distributors (Purple Feet Wines) we are pleased to announce a wine dinner featuring Sam Clarke, owner/president and son of Thorn-Clarke founders David & Cheryl Clark (nee Thorn). Read all about Thorn-Clarke at http://www.thornclarkewines.com.au/ .
Thorn-Clarke is an Australian wine producer with deep roots in the Barossa Valley. They produce wines under the labels of William Randell, Shotfire, Terra Barossa, Sand Piper (Milton Park in the US) and Innovative Wines. Under each label they produce various wines from various varietals and grape sources. Their wines routinely rank very high in points, earn medals in various competitions and are highly regarded from just about any wine source around. As a matter of fact, just prior to joining us in Wausau, Sam Clarke is meeting with Robert Parker and Wine Spectator so they can taste the amazing wines of Thorn-Clarke!
So, what’s the deal? A reception with hand passed appetifs (where you’ll get the opportunity to meet Sam Clarke), then a sit down 5 course meal. We’ll be tasting at total of seven wines – two at the reception & five with dinner!
