Wine for Sunsets on the Beach and Monster Truck Rallys*

Roasted beet and walnut bruschetta paired with Martella Sauvignon Blanc.

Serrano, Pancetta and eggplant empanada with Mahon and Manchego cheeses paired with Wine Guerrilla Two Vineyards Zinfandel blend.

Shrimp, mussel, chorizo and smoked paprika paella paired with Marques de la Concordia Tempranillo.

Triple chocolate Torte with fresh strawberries and raspberries paired with Martella Fairbain Ranch Bio-dynamic Syrah.

European Market and Cafe's Second Friday wine dinner's theme was "Spanish Influence on California Wine and Cuisine." Four courses, four wines, $25.

The food and wine were outstanding, as usual, and if you know of a better deal for an evening spent wining and dining, I'm all ears. And for the wine geeks reading this, the title* refers to the Wine Guerrilla blend (77% zin, 16% Cabernet sauvignon and 7% petite sirah) which clocks in at a healthy 14.6% alcohol. A bottle of this and you'll be hollering for the Gravedigger...
