Each event will feature four to six-bottle selections hand-picked by the guest, available by the glass, and a playful menu of bar snacks from Executive Chef Eli Collins. Hosted by a.kitchen’s Beverage and Service Director Frank Kinyon, the cork in Vineyl Night is that there will be a turntable brought in to spin records for the evening (hence the name - get it, like vinyl?!). The food menu will feature A - and B-side snacks, including dishes like Pork Jowl Bouchon, Sweet Breads with Mustard Greens + Boursin, and Lamb Sausage Patty Melt.
The series kicks off with Le Bouchon Imports’ (known for an incredible portfolio of natural wines) Russ Israel on Tuesday, January 31st, from 5-7 PM. The wine list will feature a selection of wine from Jose Pastor’s Selections, which is seen as the authority on natural Spanish wine, for guests to enjoy by the glass. No reservations are needed; guests can pop in!
The series is just picking up steam, and we’ve locked in the following dates:
- February 28 - Jim Nolan / Vine Street Imports
- March 27 - Ken Schindler (The Artisan’s Cellar)
- April 25 - Eti Emokpae (Skurnik Wines)
