SUMMARY:Aperture Cellars Wine Tasting Dinner at Akbar\, Marina del Rey
DESCRIPTION:Andy and Jesse Katz\, father and son\, world famous photographer and renowned Sonoma winemaker- each doing his own thing\, but working together to bring a happy ending we can all enjoy\, one bottle at a time.  The aperture of a camera lens adjusts the amount of light a photographer has to work with (check out the label on each Aperture bottle\, compliments of father Andy). Winemaker Jesse says he is focused on shedding light on what Bordeaux varieties in the cooler pockets of Sonoma County are capable of- that is\, letting the terroir speak loud and clear.  According to Decanter Magazine\, “Aperture wines are small batch (and sell out quickly)\, but they are worth searching out\, combining as they do the best of the Old and New World\, delivering a powerful punch but well sculpted with natural balance…”  With this as a background\, we bring you an exceptional opportunity to taste 4 of these outstanding wines that are virtually unavailable except at the winery.  But\, we’ll save you a trip to Sonoma.  Akbar’s Owner/Chef Avinash Kapoor has created a delicious menu of gourmet Indian cuisine that will make these wines shine (but not too much light\, please).   GWG’s Peter Kerr will discuss Aperture’s history & explore the wine & food pairings.  All the wines will also be available for ordering at great prices.  Join us under the stars (dress warmly) in Akbar’s outdoor patio section for a rare opportunity to enjoy these highly rated & sought after wines. \n$85 pp plus tax and gratuity \nWelcome Reception- A refreshing bubbly  \nMENU  \nDesi Prawn Cocktail: Colossal Shrimp with Chef Avi’s homemade tomato chutney\n2020 Aperture Sauvignon Blanc\, Bennett Valley\, Sonoma (W.E.-94pts.) \n Chicken Tamatter: Chicken in coconut tomato sauce with caramelized onions\, serano\n2020 Aperture Chenin Blanc\, Barrel fermented\, North Coast (Jeb Dunnuck-90 pts.) \nChef Avi’s famous Lamb Tikka: Cubes of lamb marinated in exotic Indian spices\, tandoori-grilled & served over grilled onions and Aloo masala\n2019 Aperture Bordeaux Red Blend\, Alexander Valley (W.A.- 95-97 pts.)\n2019 Aperture Cabernet Sauvignon\, Alexander Valley (W.A.- 95-97 pts.) \nImportant note: COVID-19 vaccinations are highly recommended.
