News Release: Friday, March 7, 2025
About: Tasting Styles of White Bordeaux at Quench!
 
Everyone knows that Bordeaux is famous for red wine. But not as many realize that Sauvignon Blanc is also from Bordeaux. And blending this varietal with Semillon is what is called White Bordeaux, or Bordeaux Blanc. It is, however, the terroir of the grapes and the amount of each varietal in the blend that makes all the difference.

Please join importer Jean Christian Rostagni at Quench! in Reynolds Village in Woodfin to try four styles of White Bordeaux. The event takes place "at the QBar" and "on the house" from 4-6 on Friday, March 21st with presentations by Jean Christian at 4 and 5 pm.
 
Chef Sam Etheridge says: "Come for the tasting and stay for dinner!"
And parking is free, close and easy.

Sam, Jonathan and the team at Quench have brought simple, but fine dining in a small bistro environment to Woodfin! All winter Quench has "hit the spot" with crazy-good grilled cheese sammies, soups and salads. Great place to settle down, turn the phone on mute and have a glass and a plate or two! Mayor Jim

Diner Review of Terre Rouge Dinner!

Diner (GG) posted this review of The terre Rouge Dinner last night at Quench!

IMG 1003

Hello Sam and John!

For a change, I'm at a loss for words to fully describe last evening's culinary event!  Absolutely sublime!  The entire menu was the absolute ultimate. OMG!  The way the textures and tastes played off of one another provided quite the mouth experience!  
 
Sam, I could never replicate last evenings creation, but I would certainly love to take a stab at giving your dessert a try.  If you share recipes, I would certainly love that one (and if not, totally understood!
 
Sam, you certainly have the knack for pairing wine with food!  Each of the Terre Rouge varietals paired wicked well with each dish that you presented.  BTW, Steve and I walked out with a mixed case of the reds that you served.  
 
Word is certainly spreading about Quench events.  All of you are the talk of my neighborhood.  It feels so good to get the credit for all of your efforts - I received a number of thank you notes from every person seated at our table who participated.  The reaction to the dinner that I overheard among the other guests was equally favorable.  
 
Sam and John, thanks ever so much for offering spectacular dinners to our neighborhood!  Both of you are the best!
