Local Event
Cost: $100 per ticket
Stew Leonard III Water Safety Foundation, along with co-founders Kim & Stew Leonard Jr., will host a Grand Tasting of more than 300 wines, beers, and spirits on Wednesday, October 10, 2018 from 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. at Nanina’s in the Park. Tickets are $100/each and are available at Stew Leonard’s Wines & Spirits in Clifton, Paramus, and Springfield and via www.stewswines.com.
The event will benefit Stew Leonard III Water Safety Foundation and proceeds will be donated to local New Jersey organizations that support water safety education and awareness. In 2017, the event raised almost $15,000 and provided dozens of free or low-cost swimming lessons and hours of lifeguard training at the Clifton Boys and Girls Club, Westfield YMCA, Ridgewood YMCA, and Wyckoff YMCA. (For more information, please visit www.stewietheduck.org).
At the event, a variety of wines, local spirits – including bourbon, gin, whiskey, and vodka – will be tasted alongside a selection of local beers. Notable local beers include Jersey Girl King Gambrinus Belgian Tripel, Jersey Girl Pilsner, and Jersey Girl Sun-kissed Citra while notable bourbons include Hudson Baby Bourbon, first bourbon whiskey to be distilled in New York, as well as Crossroads Bourbon Whiskey, the first aged bourbon whiskey produced in New Jersey since before Prohibition. Wines representing more than a dozen countries will also be offered that evening, including wines that are not commonly featured during in-store tastings.
The chefs from Nanina’s in the Park have put together a fresh and sophisticated menu to compliment the array of fine wines, spirits, and beers that will be offered at the Grand Tasting. Passed appetizers will be complemented by a selection of meats and cheeses – featuring assorted cured meats, grilled and marinated vegetables, and fresh mozzarella – as well as entrée and carving stations.
