Another Greens event coming up. I've pasted the info below:
___________________
Fourth Annual James Beard Foundation Greens TAPAS CHALLENGE!
Join us on Sunday, April 9th, as last year’s winner, Laura Brennan of Caffe Umbra, defends her tapas title against Adam Halberg of Via Matta and Rene Michelena of Domani Bar & Trattoria. At this four course sit-down tasting, the 3 Boston Chefs will each prepare dishes that they will pair with wines they have chosen from the three varietal categories. The Greens will judge the pairings and choose this year’s tapas champion!
