Okay, Texas (and beyond) wine lovers. The menu has been perfected, and the wines selected for the Texas by the Book: A Food & Wine Extravaganza by Three Texas Authors event. This is going to be a one-of-a-kind event. See menu and ticket information below. We look forward to seeing many of our friends for this memorable evening. Seating is limited and we anticipate it will sell out quickly. Texas by the Book – A Texas Food & Wine Extravaganza from Three Texas Authors Friday, February 27, 2015, 6:30 p.m. At Cabernet Grill – Texas Hill Country Restaurant in Fredericksburg, Texas The Cabernet Grill Restaurant at the Cotton Gin Village in Fredericksburg, Texas, is pleased to announce a celebratory early-spring Texas wine and food dinner on Friday February 27, 2015 at 6:30 pm. It will be a feast featuring fine Texas cuisine (menu and wine pairings below) prepared from recipes from the new cookbooks from two eminent Texas chefs: Chef and author Terry Thompson-Anderson and the Cabernet Grill’s own Chef Ross Burtwell using local and Texas-sourced ingredients. Texas wine pairings will be selected by Russell Kane (aka Doc Russ Texas Wineslinger), author of the new book, Texas Hill Country Wineries, a wine trail guide and photo history. The exciting part of this Texas food and wine extravaganza is that it includes a six-course gourmet meal with each course paired with a Texas wine, with the wines presented by principals from the six premium Texas wineries: Duchman Family Winery, Grape Creek Vineyards, Texas Hills Vineyard, Pedernales Cellars, Bending Branch Winery, and Brennan Vineyards. Also included, attendees will receive signed, autographed copies of each of the three books: • Ross Burtwell’s Hill Country Cuisine – Flavors from the Cabernet Grill Texas Wine Country Restaurant • Terry Thompson-Anderson’s Texas on the Table: People, Places and Recipe: Celebrating the Flavors of the Lone Star State • Russ Kane’s Texas Hill Country Wineries The books will be snuggled into a gift bag with coupons for wine tastings for two at each of the wineries and a discount on purchase at Fredericksburg’s UrbanHerbal. Cost $250.00 per couple (one set of books) or $150.00 single, with wine pairings, signed copies of each of the three books, plus tax and 18% gratuity on the meal. NOTE: Reservations Only. Reservation deadline is Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Tickets for this event are available from Cabernet Grill by phone: 830-990-5734 with credit card.
