The New Jersey Wines Culinary Series kicks off Thursday, April 25, 2019 with two separate wine dinners at Drew’s Bayshore Bistro in Keyport. The event teams Chef Andrew Araneo (Drew) with Mark Carduner, co-owner and winemaker at Working Dog Winery in East Windsor. Chef Drew achieved national fame when he beat celebrity chef Bobby Flay in a Throwdown at the Shore in 2013.
The New Jersey Wines Culinary Series brings leading New Jersey chefs and winemakers together, to create wine tasting and wine pairing events at leading restaurants and other locales throughout the state, introducing a whole new audience to our wine industry.
The Garden State Wine Growers Association is teaming with the Garden State Culinary Arts Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides a unified, comprehensive statewide support to our foodways, economy and professionals in the culinary, hospitality and beverage enterprises to develop these events.
The first seating at Drew's Bayshore Bistro is from 6:30 pm - 8 pm and the second dinner seating is from 8 pm - 10 pm. The price for each admission ticket is $140 and includes dinner, wine, and gratuities. Sales tax will be applied separately to each ticket order.
Each seating will offer a five course menu with each dish paired with a different wine from Working Dog Winery. Due to the small number of seats available at each seating there will be community seating at this event.
