There's A Gourmet Sriracha And Wine Pairing Dinner In Hollywood This Week

For those who believe that Sriracha goes with everything, there's a special wine pairing dinner this week for the hot sauce with a cult following. This Thursday, Vintage Enoteca in Hollywood will hold their very first Sriracha & Wine Tasting Event as part of the wine bar's non-traditional tasting series. The evening will involve a three-course menu featuring dishes that highlight the celebrated hot sauce, and each will be paired with a wine that can stand up to its addictive, garlicky heat.
The tasting menu will include shrimp Sriracha ceviche paired with an Albariño (Eladio Pineiro, Rías Baixas, Spain, 2014), Sriracha-BBQ pork mac 'n cheese matched with a Blaufrankisch (Glatzer, Carmuntum, Austria, 2013), and for dessert, a cookie-cheesecake ice cream parfait with Sriracha candy with La Morandina (Moscato d'Asti, Piedmont, Italy, 2013).
The dinner is $40 per person (not including tax and gratuity), and includes a half glass of each wine. For those looking for a milder option, the regular menu will also be available.
Vintage Enoteca is located at 7554 Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, (323) 512-5278. Dinner service begins at 5 p.m. and reservations are strongly encouraged.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
