Johnny Carino's Wine Dinner
Ladies Night Out
Menu
Grape and Gorgonzola Salad with Trinity Oaks Pinot Grigio
Toasted pecans, gorgonzola cheese, red grapes and roasted red peppers, tossed with fresh mixed greens and a light lemon vinaigrette
10 points. We all thought this was the best part of the meal!
Shrimp Parmesiana with Trinity Oaks Pinot Noir
Large, succulent black tiger shrimp lightly breaded in panko crumbs with zesty tomato sauce and melted parmesan cheese.
8 points. I am not fond of shrimp, but this dish was quite good.
Mixed Grill Skewers with Zonin Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Fire-grilled chicken and steak ka-bobs with a cabernet wine sauce, served over pasta with fresh vegetables
5 points. Though we liked the wine, we thought the entree was the biggest disappointment of the meal. Both the steak chunks and the chicken chunks were poor quality or poorly prepared.
Amaretto Cherry Parfait with Korbel Sweet Rose Sparling Wine

Amaretto Cherry Parfait with Korbel Sweet Rose Sparling Wine
Mascarpone mousse layered with imported amarena cherries, whipped amaretto cream and toasted biscotti cookies
7 points. A generous portion of very rich dessert. It paired nicely with the wine chosen.
We had a fun evening.
Being with my daughters for a night out is a treat that I would rate very high,
.... regardless of the food being served!!
