The Big Reds Are At Tulalip! Powerhouse Pours At Sparkman Cellars Winemaker Dinner

Taste of Tulalip 2012 Honorary winemaker Chris Sparkman will be coming to the Resort Casino on Saturday, July 7 to show his powerhouse pours and how well suited they are to food pairing (especially when the menu is prepared by Executive Chef Perry Mascitti and his culinary team). The second in a series of "Taste with Tommy" wine dinners lined up by sommelier Tom Thompson, guests will get the chance to chat, choose and chill out during a warm summer evening on the MPulse Lounge patio.

Sparkman Cellars, Wine & Spirits "2011 Winery of the Year", Wine Enthusiast's "2011 Cult Winery", and Wine Spectator "2010 Rising Star", produces BIG reds. Family owned, the winery was started in 2004 and produces artisan handcrafted award-winning wines, several highly sought after. Grapes are sourced from some of the best vineyards in Washington, including Klipsun-Red Mountain, Ciel du Cheval - Red Mountain, Boushey - Yakima Valley and others.

Chef Perry will oversee multiple cooking stations where guests can speak directly to the chefs to customize their meal preparation and select the ideal accompaniment. The Grilling Station will feature choices from slow smoked brisket, grilled jambalaya and blackened King salmon to seafood gumbo. Other dinner stops include Salads, Sides, Sliders and the Sweet Street Station.
