5 Course Portugese Wine Dinner at Sueño

By

Join Sueño and Portuguese winemaker Catarina Vieira on Monday, August 22nd for a 5 course dinner paired with 4 wines.
In the Lower Alentejo region of southern Portugal lies the estate of Herdade do Rocim. Oenologist and winemaker Catarina has been coordinating the long overhaul of the estate and believes that Alentejo has the unique conditions required to produce world-class, age worthy wines.
Since purchasing the estate, Caterina invested heavily in the land by completely regenerating the vineyards and building a new state of the art winery. She focuses on indigenous, organic wines that are “elegant and sober, with freshness and minerality.” The most unique wines from the lineup are traditional amphora-aged wines. Amphora are large clay pots. The porous nature of the pots allow for micro-oxidation of the wine, similar to what oak aging does but without the taste of oak.
The menu for this special event:

East Coast Oysters
paired with 2021 ‘Mariana’ rosé

Local beet salad, greens, fried goat cheese, champagne vinaigrette paired with 2020 Herdade do Rocim Amphora Bronco White

Salmon, corn and poblano puree, blackberry compote paired with 2019 Herdade do Rocim Touriga Nacional

Lamb barbacoa, chili guajillo adobo, hoja santa gremolata paired with 2020 ‘Mariana’ Tinto Red Blend

Lemon tart, mascarpone whip, orange zest
Monday, Aug 22, 2022 6-8pm 
$95 per ticket
Sueño
607 East 3rd Street

4 Course Wine Dinner at Sueño

By

Sommelier Lauren Gay

On Sunday, October 3rd, join Sueño for a 4 course dinner expertly paired by Sommelier Lauren Gay with 5 wines from Mi Terruño. Traveling over 5,000 miles from Argentina to Ohio, Mi Terruño’s owner Gabriel Baigorria will be leading the event.

The Baigorria family has been involved in Mendoza’s wine industry since 1960; first with the purchase of their own vineyards and later, in 2004, with their own winery. Located in the picturesque town of San Roque, Maipu, the winery was retrofitted from an old glass tile factory – combining new technology with traditional wine making techniques. Mi Terruño, meaning “my terroir”, is managed by the brother-sister duo of Gabriel Baigorria and winemaker, Maria Eugenia Baigorria. Under Maria Eugenia’s guidance the Mi Terruño wines are driven by the unique expression of their own terroir and embodies their most important treasure, the grapes.

The Baigorria family

Sueño Doesn’t Disappoint

By

Free valet parking as you pull up on Third Street in the Webster Station area of downtown Dayton and enter the doors of the newly opened Sueño. Once inside you immediately feel like you’ve left Dayton and arrived in a hip dining establishment in a large city! The atmosphere is impressive as soon as you enter.

Greeted by a lovely staff and escorted to our table we pass a busy bar. Across the dining room from our table is a platform kitchen with wood fired open flame oven.
We are greeted by Jade our informed server and her assistant Marie. Jade took us on a tour of the menu with answers to all of our questions and fabulous suggestions.
From the Botonas (snacks for sharing) menu we chose guacamole and sikil p’ak (pumpkin seed hummus) both served with house made chips topped with a little cumin and acid(lime juice). Both were amazing and delicious!
Then it came time to choose entrees – Jade was careful to suggest just how to place the order so that everyone’s food arrived at the same time. From the platos pequeños (small plates) menu my friend chose Taco de Cochinita – three tacos with Adobe marinated pork, salsa tamulado and pickled red onion.
From the Hearth menu another friend selected Carne Asada. Beautifully seasoned steak bavette with chimichuri and frijoles charros. I chose the pork al pastor with grilled pineapple, caramelized onion and morita salsa. These dinners are large enough to share – but we didn’t! Two of us also ordered from the Verduras (vegetables) menu a dish of charred corn mixed with cascabel spice, cilantro, queso fresco and crema mixed together and served cold. This was a great balance to the dishes that were a taste explosion.
As if that wasn’t enough…we had to have something from the Postres (dessert) menu – there are two options so we chose one of each. A scoop of Mexican chocolate (house made) ice cream topped with pieces of spicy pepita (pumpkin seed) brittle and arroz con leche – rice pudding with roasted summer peaches and marscapone.
This is a dining experience and one that lends itself to a fabulous date, celebration or just a Wednesday night dinner – in a place that takes you away!
Do yourself a favor and make reservations now!
