This is a true Wine & Food Pairing Event, showcasing delicious Latin American food
and great wines
to match. (Please note:  Food provided is for sampling and pairing, not
a full meal.)  
Latin America is a vast area with contrasting landscapes, climates, people
and cultures. Because there is such an extensive influence on the culture from such a
large variety of countries, the cuisine is probably the most impressive attraction of the
region. And although a common thread of ingredients runs throughout these Latin
American menus, each country's cuisine differs based on its culture and geography. When
enjoying such diverse options, the capacity for wine-pairing is limitless. From light and
crisp sparkling wines from some of the most prestigious regions of France, to the richest
and most powerful reds from the beautiful foothills of Spain. Whether your favorites are
grilled shrimp and chorizo, or quesadillas and empanadas there is always a wine that is
just the perfect match.
