“Andrew Jones has been one of my favorite winemakers for a few years now,” said Lauren Gay, Sueño general manager and wine director. “He is young for how accomplished he is. Not only does he make Field Recordings (which will be featured during our event), but he also has the Wonderwall and Fiction labels, as well as a collaborative effort on The Fableist.”
Field Recordings features a catalog of single vineyard sites that produces wines with a sense of place and personality. Jones is all about finding underdog vineyards with untapped potential.
Below are the pairings for the night:
First Course:
- 2021 Dry Hop Chardonnay Pét Nat
- Ensalada de Granja (carrots, turnips, chapulines, queso fresco, vinaigrette limon)
Second Course:
- 2021 Domo Arigato Ramato Pinot Gris
- Tostada (whipped goats cheese, asparagus, peas, matcha)
Third Course:
2021 Freddo Sangiovese
Salmon (mole verde, charred broccolini, pepita dukkah)
Fourth Course:
- 2021 Tang sparkling white piquet
- Fruit tart
Gay said the 4-course meal sounds like it embodies spring to her.
“Whenever creating a meal to pair with wines, there is often times a lot of speculation involved,” Gay said. “Sometimes dishes on paper should/shouldn’t work with a particular type of wine. It is always a bit nerve wrecking to try them together and put your theories to the test.”
Gay added it is always an honor to eat dishes created by Chef Guzman.
