November 17, 2023

I frequently write about wine and beer pairing dinners, but this one is a first: On Wednesday, November 29th at 6:30 p.m. Stanza Italian Bistro & Wine Bar will host Mezcal y Mas, a dinner in Stanza’s spacious upstairs private room for a communal dining experience savoring the flavors of Mezcal alongside authentic Mexican cuisine. The menu looks like this:

Primer Tiempo: Ceviche de Callo de Hacha y Camarón (scallops, shrimp, cucumber, onion, avocado, tomato, lime) with Margarita de Mezcal y Sal de Gusano.

Segundo Tiempo: Sopa de Lima (chicken, citrus broth, tortilla strips) paired with Paloma y Mezcal.

Tercer Tiempo: Jamaica Sorbet with Mezcal float.

Cuarto Tiempo: Mole con Guajolote (turkey, traditional mole made with chocolate and a variety of chiles & spices) and a Mezcal Old Fashioned.

Quinto Tiempo: Flan con Dulce de Leche paired with Ponche y Piquete de Mezcal.

The cost for the Mezcal y Mas dinner at Stanza is $100 per person ($70 food/$39 alcohol), plus tax and gratuity.
