January Wine Pairing at RAVINE in Oxford, MS


Ravine in Oxford is by far the best restaurant in town. If you ever visit Oxford, of course you will want to party on the square, but if you want the best that this little town can offer, head out south on Lamar and turn at the sign for the recycling plant and you will soon after see Ravine on the left.

I'm on their mailing list, and I've decided to post this event, it is sure to be fabulous. The following is a letter from Joel.

Hello again,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Cori and I have had a couple of weeks off, and are very much ready to get back into the thick of things.

Dr Juergens and I thought it would be thoughtful and fun to have a "recession" wine tasting, or as he put it, "living well in difficult economic times." The theme will be of great wines at affordable prices, with food to match, for those of us experiencing the tightening of our economic belts.

The price per person will be only $20, as keeping with the theme, and it will be held on Thursday, January 29th, starting at 6 pm. Dr Juergens has not revealed all the wines to me as of yet, but mentioned a delicious (and always intriguing) petite syrah, as well as a zinfandel. The wines and food should be great for the winter weather, and we look forward to having you.

An occasional reminder- once I send out this email, the event usually sells out within 7-10 days of the posting. If you are interested, please reply via phone as soon as possible. Also, remember that if you cancel less than 48 hours prior to the event, we do have to charge your credit card, because of the limited space.

Finally, here at ravine we will be starting a "Sunday Supper", each and every Sunday night. The idea will be to have some more affordable, comfort food on Sundays, with a 3 course meal of your choosing for only $23. Please keep an eye out for a follow up email with the menu and the start date for Sunday Suppers.

Thanks as always for supporting us,

Joel
