Mirepoix USA’s Five-Course Foie Gras Tasting and Wine Pairing Event in Reno, Nevada, Saturday, September 28, 7 – 9 pm
Reno, NV (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- Mirepoix USA (enjoyfoiegras.com), a leading online purveyor of foie gras, caviar, truffles and other gourmet foods, is presenting a five-course Foie Gras Tasting, Wine Pairing and Sales event in Reno, Nevada, where the company is now based. Mirepoix USA moved its operations to Reno, Nevada in response to California State Senate Bill No. 1520 (SB 1520), the “foie gras ban,” which became law on July 1, 2012.
Californians and local foie gras connoisseurs are invited to attend Mirepoix USA’s five-course Foie Gras Tasting and Wine Pairing event and buy foie gras and expertly paired wines at the event. According to Laurel Pine, Mirepoix USA founder, “It is legal to buy foie gras in the state of Nevada and transport the product back to California."
Five foie gras courses will be served at the September 28 tasting event including Foie Gras Terrine with Pear Currant Chutney, Seared Foie Gras with Cabernet Balsamic Berry Reduction, Asian Spiced Foie Gras Torchon with Ginger Carrot Chutney, Wagyu Beef Sliders with Seared Foie Gras and Spicy Tomato Jam, and White and Dark Chocolate Foie Gras Truffles. Each course will be paired with premium wines.
The event will be held in a private club room in downtown Reno, Nevada, and the five foie gras courses will be served “cocktail party” style. Wait staff will serve each course on passed trays and guests will be free to mingle in the room and on the outdoor poolside patio. Event guests will be able to watch the preparation of each course in the open demonstration kitchen.
