Come Have a Grape Stompin' Good Time at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile Hotel
CHICAGO, May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, May 26, 2010, the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile will host the spring 2010 stomping event involving over two tons of grapes from multiple varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Sauvignon Blanc.
The Chicago Marriott has paired with Greg Fischer of Chicago's Wild Blossom Winery, who assists Marriott Executive Chef Myk Banas in selecting the perfect grapes to be transformed into several wines unique to the Chicago, IL hotel.
The wines currently available at the Chicago Marriott are the product of the October 2008 crushing, and includes an American Sangiovese, "Farmsted Red," a Viognier, "View from the Road" and a very limited stock of their 2007 Chicago-made Shiraz blend, "CHI-RAZ."
"The idea behind the wine is to take our culinary philosophy of 'fresh, simple and chef-crafted' and apply it to our beverages. We strive to create simple, easy to drink wines to enjoy with our mid-western food," says Banas. "Our wines aren't fancy, but things don't have to be complicated to be great."
The wine stomping will take place on Wednesday, May 26 from 4:30–7:00 p.m. in the lobby of the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile Hotel, located at 540 North Michigan Avenue.
Event attendees can sample American Zin & a Viognier, "View from the Road" paired with a charcuterie table, goat cheese crostini with onions confit and rooftop honey and a BBQ pork sandwich with orange fennel slaw. There will be a $10 charge for the event; wristbands are available for purchase at the hotel.
