Dinner with Giorgio

What does Anne Amie Vineyards and Covey Run Winery have in common? 
Well, for the lucky attendees of the Classic Wines Auction
dinner hosted at  Giorgio's restaurant in the Pearl last Wednesday, there was more than just superb wines paired with wonderful food.  I was pleasantly surprised by  what Covey Run's winemaker, Kate Michaud and I had in common.  We had both worked making "sauvy" in Marlborough,  are yoga junkies, love to roam thrift stores, and don't eat meat. The wines, though very different in styles, played well with the beautiful courses prepared by  executive chef, Peter Schuh- some almost too pretty to eat!
To share an evening of great food and wine while raising money for Portland charities was a great experience.  To share that kind of evening with a kindred spirit in the winemaking world was even better.
