Ingredients Restaurant Events Local Artisan Westport Wine Dinners Wine On The Water @ The Boathouse At Saugatuck Stephanie Webster March 18, 2011 Spring is a time for rebirth; a time to emerge from hibernation and celebrate new experiences. One of the most exciting new experiences I have recently come across is happening every Tuesday 7-9PM at The Boathouse At Saugatuck. Chef John Holzwarth is coming out of the kitchen and cooking in the main dining room for an immersive weekly wine tasting event, "Wine On The Water." Weather permitting, they will move this party to the beautiful outdoor riverside patio featuring a raw bar and seasonal nibbles. These evenings are geared towards wine appreciation and exploration and if you've had the opportunity to sample the wine list at The Boathouse, you know they have some very unique finds. @ $35 a person, this should become a weekly recurring event in your calendar. Here are a few events in their ongoing lineup. For more information, call The Boathouse at 203.227.3399 or check out their web site. WINE ON THE WATER Tuesday March 22nd Join Chef John and our good friend Tyler Savage of Artisan Wine for a tasting featuring some beautiful wine from Oregon. We will be tasting two Pinot Noir, a Pinot Grigio and a Chardonnay to be paired with our local sustainable seafood hors d'oeuvres. Tuesday March 29th Join us the following Tuesday for an illustration on the breadth of Italy's most famous grape...Sangiovese. We will offer two selections from Chianti and two others from Romagna (John's Favorite) and Le Marche. These wines will be paired with 4 different seasonal ravioli made especially for you by John.
