Certified Sommelier, Rodney Willis, was on hand to introduce each wine to the full house and to provide diners with the opportunity to purchase their favorites that evening.
The Menu:
Guests were welcomed with a glass of Austrian Loimer "Lois" Gruner Veltliner and 3 Day Feta with
pumpkin oil and fresh bread.

Austria.
2nd Course - Braised pork belly with arugula, compressed melon and smoked paprika vinaigrette served with Loimer Rosé from Austria as well.

4th Course - Seared filet with smoked chestnut puree, stewed porcini and charred onion petals accompanied by an Austrian red wine, Paul Achs "Lust and Leben".
5th Course - Braised goat neck with buttered carrots and štrukli served with Tikves Vranec from Macedonia.

This was my first wine event at Lucille's but this was not the case for most attendees, I learned. Table mates discussed the regular events that the restaurant hosts and highly recommended to me that I should return.
It is advice that I will take, the dinner was tasty and the wines were unique, I'm looking forward to coming back soon and seeing what Chef Chris Williams comes up with next.
