Every year, I have the privilege of catering the VIP Tent at A Celebration of Wine and it's an event I really look forward to!
(Insert shameless plug here) A Celebration Of Wine is a benefit held every year on the first Sunday in June to raise funds for the Vincent E. Petrucci Library at Fresno State University and is Central California's most prestigious silent wine auction. Last year, more than 80 of California's finest wineries and more than 30 of the central valley's best restaurants sampled their fine wines and cuisines for the attendees, and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere at the scenic Borba Family Ranch. Tickets cost just $70 and are available by going to http://www.acelebrationofwine.com. (End shameless plug...)
For those of you who have been to A Celebration Of Wine, you know that the VIP Tent is reserved for those patrons who help financially support the event either by sponsoring at a certain level or by spending a certain amount on the silent auction. In my 7 years of catering the event, I've come to know certain "regulars" whom I see year after year and I always make a point of observing what they enjoy and what they don't. I then use that info to create the next year's menu, and this year I'm planning to do some good stuff!
On the Menu...
- Prosciutto-stuffed jumbo mushrooms
- Chicken satay w/ Chef Delaney's signature Thai peanut sauce
- Bruschetta bar w/ assorted pestos and toppings
- Angus beef sliders w/ sauteed wild mushrooms
- Seasonal fruit and cheese platters
- Balsamic-glazed salami skewers w/ vidalia onion marmalade
- Pulled-pork sliders with Chef Delaney's signature smoked peach & chipotle BBQ sauce
Be sure to try to make it out to this event if you're a fan of food and wine! For a complete list of restaurants and wineries that are participating this year, check out A Celebration Of Wine on Facebook. For complete information about the event, visit their website for details!
