Good food, good wine, and good friends all come together at our monthly wine dinner.
For July, Certified Sommelier Mani Gonzalez opted to preempt our usual seated wine dinner in favor of a Saturday afternoon rosé tasting... after all, June 8th is “National Rosé Day!”
This event will be the perfect op- portunity to try your new favorite summer wine.

The Grand Tasting took place on Sunday, May 5th, 2019 at the Ringling Museum of Art, and of course, element was there. The stellar annual event showcases the palate-pleasing products of an interna- tional cast of visiting winery owners and winemakers alongside the deliciously diverse cuisine of The Sarasota-Manatee Originals restaurants.
We presented “Assorted Pickled & Cured Vegetables, Hummus, and White Bean Bruschetta with Flatbreads.”
The Sarasota-Manatee Originals is a group of locally owned restaurants who share a passion for dining excellence and commitment to our community.
Cheers, Chef Nils
