Celebration of U.S. Wines and Foods

Experience the diversity and excellence of colors, scents, textures and taste as classic U.S. wines are paired with authentic U.S. cooking.

On Thursday, November 1, AIT's Agricultural Trade Office will coordinate two separate American Wine Pairing events at the "Cosmopolitan Grill" Restaurant at 218 Changchun Road in Taipei.  The first event from 15:00 - 17:00 is by invitation only for lifestyle media contacts and the second event from 18:00 - 21:00 is a consumer wine tasting is co-sponsored by the American Chamber of Commerce and Jason's Wine Discovery Club.  Wines from California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington State will be paired with delicious dishes made from American ingredients. 

America's Pacific Northwest is known in Taiwan for its natural beauty and bountiful harvests of grains, fresh fruit, and seafood.  Today, the world's wine connoisseurs increasingly recognize the Pacific Northwest as a region producing high quality grape wines.  The fertile soils, numerous microclimates, and a landscape of rolling hills and lush river valleys have nurtured a wine industry that has made it one of the world's most important new viticultural areas.

John H. Isacs, Wine connoisseur and CEO of EnjoyGourmet (www.enjoygourmet.com), will lead an exclusive lifestyle media tasting event from 15:00 - 17:00 of distinctive wines from Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California paired with popular American dishes prepared by Cosmopolitan Grill.  Ten wines will be served with eight courses, and Mr. Isacs will introduce each food and wine pairing as he explains the art of matching U.S. wines with popular American dishes.  A special display table with each dish and accompanying wine will be prepared for photographing.

Mr. Isacs will also host the evening tasting event from 18:00 - 21:00 and introduce the wide diversity of wines produced in the United States, from California's Napa Valley to the Columbia River Basin in Washington State to the foothills of Western Idaho.  Seven wine importers will participate in the evening tasting event, and Cosmopolitan Restaurant will prepare exquisite appetizers designed to go with the wines for the evening event.  Please contact Cosmopolitan Grill directly to make reservations for the evening tasting event at (02) 2508-0304.
