Pair Away

Cabernet Savignon at the wine tasting.
In case you didn't know, I have close family that has ownership in Teddy's Restaurant and Lounge just off of the Irwin exit (Pennsylvania Turnpike) along Route 30. Last Wednesday, I was there for the first big wine tasting the restaurant has ever had. To say the least, it was awesome. I was full of awesome gourmet food and sampled some great wine.

The restaurant is going through a transitional period and this was the first step in that direction. It wants to incorporate drinks and plates that are featured in tastings such as these in the future on a full-time basis. The next scheduled tasting features nearby Full Pint Brewing.

It will feature five brews and four meal courses. I've been given a copy of the menu and have written it below. Tickets are limited and are going like hotcakes. If you're interested Teddy's phone number is 724-863-8180. Cost is $45 per-person.

Greeting: Hobnobber
