I love the verb "to taste". It suggests the beginning of something marvelous - the celebration of flavour materializing in your mouth. I love to taste food and I equally love to taste wine. I'm just relieved that now I have the option to do both of those things with a roomful of strangers at the Gladstone Hotel every Wednesday night should I choose to.
The Gladstone is hosting, in collaboration with Food Share, an event called Harvest Wednesdays. The first two events are tastings (one was last week, the following is tonight), the next a buffet, and the one after that a Harvest Dinner. The tastings will feature a casual mingling atmosphere with menus varying depending on the produce the chefs are able to ultilize from the harvest provided by a local farmer. The farmers and producers will be at the event and there will be ample opportunity to learn about community shared agriculture, various Food Share programs, as well as to eat local bounty and wash it all down with local wine and beer.
I hope to see you there!
What a beautiful thing! All that wonderful food, and I’m looking at it at dinnertime!
