Come indulge your taste buds with a sampling of exquisite food and wine. Diners are treated to a variety of favorite menu items and wine pairing from Bones, Cassis - Grand Hyatt Buckhead, Haven, Hudson Grille, Library Coffee Company, Nava, Park 75 - Four Seasons Hotel, Repast, Roy’s, Spice Market, Sweet Water Growers, Valenza, Villa Christina, and Wisteria as well as partaking in an assortment of wines from Crane Creek Vineyards, Peachtree Wine Merchants, and Sherlock’s Wine Merchants. The Cook’s Warehouse will delight guests with a wonderful paella cooking demonstration. The historical and picturesque grounds of Brookhaven’s own Oglethorpe University are the backdrop for this neighborhood dinner party on Saturday, June 14, 2008, 6p-10p. The opportunity to utilize the University’s beautiful quad adds to the charm of the evening. Accompanying this unique dining experience is the chance to bid on the array of items donated to the silent auction such as art and several Georgia Getaway packages. This year will also feature a live auction for a Progressive Chef’s Dinner, chef demonstrations hosted by Atlanta’s Finest Dining Magazine and wine classes taught by Atlanta Wine School and Sherlock’s Wine Merchant’s. Tickets for the wine classes will be sold separately. The Taste is honored to have Park 75 Executive Chef, Robert Gerstenecker as chair and Repast Executive Chef, Joseph Truex as chef co-chair of the event. Chef Gerstencker is a 15-year veteran of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. He helped open Park 75 and played an instrumental role in developing the restaurant’s menu. Gerstenecker, who best describes his food as “a use of the best ingredients cooked to perfection,” also says that any great dish must include the three T’s, taste, texture and technique, and consist of flavors he describes as the three S’s, sweet, salty and sour. “My menu is always creative, vibrant and a reflection of the best and freshest ingredients cooked and prepared with passion.” Chef Truex along with his wife Chef Mihoko Obunai have delighted Atlantans with Repast, a casual yet elegant neighborhood restaurant featuring new American cuisine with a metropolitan flair. Truex and Obunai play an essential role in Atlanta’s dining scene bringing years of experience from Atlanta and New York to this intown eatery. Joining the Taste this year are guests of honor, Jovita Moore, WSB-TV Anchor and Valerie Hoff, WXIA-TV Anchor. Ms. Moore joined WSB-TV in 1998. She donates countless hours working with civic associations, hosting events for community agencies and mentoring students.
