1515 Restaurant, a gem in Denver’s restaurant scene that often gets overshadowed by the new kid on the eatery block, is holding a wine pairing dinner with wines introduced by Emily Papach, the 19th woman out of 21 in the nation to hold the coveted Master Sommelier title.
Papach passed the Master Somm certification on her first try, a nearly unheard of feat. She is currently the national sales analyst and wine educator at Chappellet Vineyard, a family-owned Napa Valley winery founded in 1967.
Papach will lead the special wine dinner beginning at 6 p.m. May 27 with a bargain price of $65 per person (not including tax and tip).
As Claire Walter wrote on her Culinary Colorado blog, “Believe me when I say that this is a helluva a deal for such a dinner. Food alone at wine-pairing dinners is often that much, with the wines additional.”
1515 Restaurant, at 1515 Market St., is a fine-dining restaurant known for sophisticated American cuisine. “This is a rare opportunity to get to know one of the most respected wine experts in the US and taste wines paired with food she recommends,” restaurateur Gene Tang told Culinary Colorado. “We’re going to have a lot of fun with this event. I’m sure there will be some spirited debates over which ones go best with each course.”
Below is the menu that Tang has planned with Papach’s wine pairings. Each guest at the May 27 dinner will be entered into a drawing to win a 1.5-liter bottle of Cambria wine.
