Sol & Sip! | A Spanish Wine & Tapas Participatory Dinner Party | The Kitchen
August 29 @ 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Spain is having a moment! And now you can experience it without leaving Columbus. Join us for an interactive evening as you work together to prepare authentic tapas before settling in to enjoy a beautifully served dinner with five exceptional Spanish wines hand-selected by Sommelier Matt Connor.
The Bodegas Bhilar & Etérea Kripan wines are represented from a husband and wife team working in the mountains of Spain’s Rioja region. David Sampedro grew up in the village of Elvillar, and took over the family’s vineyards before deciding to make wine for himself instead of simply selling his fruit. Our very own Melanie Hickman is a product of Central Ohio – born and raised in Marion and a graduate of OSU. She & David met over a glass of wine in a bar in Madrid, and skipping ahead a bit in the story, she now grows grapes and makes wine alongside David under her own label. Everything they do is organically & bio-dynamically grown, plowed by horse, and truly reflects the sense of place in a way few Rioja wines do. In proper Spanish fashion, we’ve paired David & Melanie’s wines with some classic Spanish tapas – unlike in Spain, we aren’t starting dinner at 11:00 at night… Salut!
