Brano Wine Dinner

Here are some pictures from the great wine dinner we attended at Brano's Italian Grill in Cocoa Beach, FL on June 7, 2011.

The dinner consisted of 7 courses each paired with a wine. We started with whites and moved to reds. Dan Mazzoni picked out the different wines to go with each course. He gave a presentation of each wine poured.

Here are the different courses with pictures.

1) Mozzarella ala Caprese -- paired with Franciscan Sauvignon Blanc

2) Lobster Bisque - paired with Wild Horse Chardonnay

3) Grilled Verge of Romaine ala Caesar with seared scallops -- paired with Simi Pinot Noir

4) Lime Sorbet

5) Tortellini Primavera -- Paired with Diseno Malbec

6) Surf and Turf Gorgonzola (6oz filet with jumbo shrimp) -- paired with Estancia Meritage

7) Chocolate Covered Raspberry Gelato -- Paired with Hogue Riesling

This was Brano's first wine dinner and it was a great evening! The food was wonderful and the wine was paired well with each course.

I see they are having another dinner on July 5th. I highly recommend going. I will unfortunately be out of town until the 6th. :(
