SUMMARY:Call Me A Cab: 4 course dinner pairing
DESCRIPTION:A Four-Course Cabernet Sauvignon Journey Across America\nFour courses. Four states. One legendary grape.\n\n\n♥  ♥  ♥ \n \nBRITT’S WINE AND DINE \nat the Historic Elder School \nWhere History Pours \n \nCall Me a Cab \nA Four-Course Cabernet Sauvignon Journey Across America \nFour courses. Four states. One legendary grape. \n \nThursday  •  September 17\, 2026  •  6:30 PM \nInside the Historic Elder School  •  Kilgore\, Texas  •  $75 per guest \n \n \nCourse 1  —  Washington  •  Columbia Valley \nGarden Green Salad \nFresh mixed greens\, shaved cucumber\, cherry tomatoes\, candied walnuts\, and crumbled bleu cheese with a red wine vinaigrette — a crisp\, bright opening act. \n🍷  Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon  •  Columbia Valley\, Washington \nWashington’s most celebrated estate pours a classic Cab — dark cherry\, blackcurrant\, and cedar with smooth\, approachable tannins and a long\, graceful finish that speaks to decades of mastery. \nWhy This Pairing Works  —  The wine’s bright acidity and dark fruit cut through the richness of the bleu cheese while lifting the fresh greens — a bold\, elegant opener that sets the tone for the evening ahead. \nAbout the Winery  —  Founded in 1934 and Washington’s oldest winery\, Chateau Ste. Michelle pioneered fine winemaking in the Pacific Northwest. From its landmark estate in Woodinville\, it introduced countless Americans to Washington Cabernet Sauvignon and remains the benchmark by which all others in the state are measured. A true American wine institution. \nCourse 2  —  Virginia  •  Monticello AVA \nWild Mushroom Risotto \nCreamy Arborio risotto stirred with wild mushrooms\, fresh thyme\, shaved Parmesan\, and a drizzle of white truffle oil — rich\, earthy\, and deeply satisfying. \n🍷  Barboursville Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon  •  Monticello AVA\, Virginia \nEstate-grown on clay and loam soils where Thomas Jefferson once dreamed of a vineyard — ripe black cherry\, cassis\, and a thread of tobacco with firm but supple tannins and a clean\, persistent finish. \nWhy This Pairing Works  —  The earthy tobacco and dark cherry notes of this Virginia Cab are natural companions to wild mushroom and truffle — wine and dish sharing a deep\, savory earthiness that makes every bite more complex and every sip more rewarding. \nAbout the Winery  —  Founded in 1976 on the historic estate of Virginia Governor James Barbour — the original manor house designed by Thomas Jefferson himself — Barboursville Vineyards is Virginia’s most decorated winery. Jefferson had tried and failed to grow a vineyard on this same soil two centuries earlier. Barboursville planted anyway. Six Virginia Governor’s Cups later\, they have honored his vision. \nCourse 3  —  Texas  •  Britt’s Wine and Dine \nSlow-Roasted Bone-In Rib Roast \nA magnificent bone-in rib roast slow-roasted to a perfect medium rare\, served with au jus\, creamy horseradish\, and roasted garlic herb butter — the crown jewel of the evening. \n🍷  Britt’s Paramour Cabernet Sauvignon  •  Kilgore\, Texas \nBold and unapologetically Texan — deep dark fruit\, leather\, and warm oak with a long\, commanding finish that meets the power of the rib roast as an equal. \nWhy This Pairing Works  —  The Paramour’s bold tannin structure and dark fruit are made for slow-roasted beef — the fat of the rib roast softens the tannins while the wine’s depth amplifies every savory note on the plate for a pairing born right here in East Texas. \nAbout the Winery  —  Crafted under our own label here in Kilgore\, Texas\, the Paramour is a testament to the growing excellence of East Texas winemaking. Named for its ability to captivate and charm\, it is the wine we are most proud to call our own — and tonight\, it stands alongside some of America’s finest. \nCourse 4  —  California  •  Alexander Valley\, Sonoma County \nDark Chocolate Cabernet Cake \nA rich\, dense chocolate cake baked with Cabernet Sauvignon\, layered with dark chocolate ganache and finished with fresh raspberries and a dusting of cocoa — dessert as a grand encore. \n🍷  Jordan Winery Cabernet Sauvignon  •  Alexander Valley\, California \nElegant and classically Californian — black cherry\, cassis\, cedar\, and a whisper of vanilla with beautifully integrated tannins and a graceful\, lingering finish that is impossible to rush. \nWhy This Pairing Works  —  Dark chocolate and Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the great classic pairings — the wine’s fruit echoes the berry notes in the cake while its tannins cut through the richness of the ganache for a balanced\, beautiful finale worthy of the evening. \nAbout the Winery  —  Founded in 1972 in Alexander Valley\, Sonoma County\, Jordan Winery has spent over five decades crafting one of California’s most beloved and consistently elegant Cabernet Sauvignons\, inspired by the great châteaux of Bordeaux. With its iconic French château architecture and commitment to gracious hospitality\, Jordan helped define what California wine could be. \n \n \n♥  ♥  ♥ \nFour states. Four stories. One unforgettable evening.
