Top Spanish Wines Dinner at Selden Standard

Join us in Detroit’s Midtown on Tuesday, March 31 for dinner with a select list of Spain’s most lauded wines. We’ll begin at 7pm with Castel d’Encus Taïka, a groundbreaking Methode Ancestrale sparkling wine from the Pirineus Catalans. From there we’ll sit down to five of Spain’s best red wines paired with a five-course dinner. The wines will be diverse in both region and history, from the celebrated and incomparable Vega Sicilia in Ribera del Duero to Clos Mogador, the model of Priorat and a classic in the making.

James Beard Award semifinalist, Chef Andy Hollyday from Detroit Free Press’ Restaurant of the Year, Selden Standard, will be preparing the accompanying dishes in his signature style. Chef Andy focuses on fresh, local ingredients captured at the peak of season, prepared simply, and most often grilled or roasted with wood fire. He’ll be serving many off-menu dishes specifically designed to pair with each wine.

Cost is $220/person (gratuity and tax included) and seating is limited. Please call us at 248-398-0030 or email elie@eliewine.com to secure your seat.
