Dunes' Back Bay Bistro Introduces New Wine Program
Popular Restaurant Partners With OC Wine School For Tastings, Pairings & Special Dinners.
- Orange County, CA (1888PressRelease) October 09, 2015 - The critically acclaimed Back Bay Bistro at Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort has launched a new wine program that will explore vintages from around the globe, offering guests -- from novices to aficionados - opportunities to venture through myriad of varietals from local, regional and international sources. The Newport Beach restaurant has reformatted its wine list and, together with the OC Wine School, will present tastings, special wine dinners and other events to promote fine wines.
In addition to highlighting moderately priced, classic wines from France, Italy, Germany and Spain, its "Best of the New World" includes wines from California, Oregon, Washington, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, South Africa and Australia. Under the direction of Peter and Holly Smith, the OC Wine School will present its Wine Education Series the first Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. For a list of upcoming classes, visit ocwineschool.com.
The Smiths launched the OC Wine School to demystify the secrets and pretentiousness often associated with the world of wine. They have more than 20 years of experience, gained by visiting top vineyards and winemakers in the world's most important wine regions, with their specialist wine tour service, Avalon Wine Tours. Its professional staff is well versed in all aspects of wine including tasting, presentation, food-pairing and storage. The couple work alongside partner Anthony Gochal, a certified sommelier.
The Back Bay Bistro is a contemporary 199-seat dining establishment. Among the features that distinguish it from other restaurants are its spectacular bay views, innovative design elements including a convertible roof that can open up during warm days, ample parking and plenty of seating to ease crowding.
