Breakfast for Dinner at Vom Fass

Even though this was a one-time event, the wine pairing dinners at Vom Fass are always a winner. I recommend signing up for their events on Eventbrite here - https://www.eventbrite.com/d/mo--st-louis/vom-fass-maplewood/

Friday night's dinner theme was a five-course "Breakfast for Dinner" including wine pairings by Vintegrity's Shannon Behnen.

The first course was one of my favorites thanks to the sparking rose that was paired with a baby lox bagel.

The second course paired a delicious Cheese Quiche with leeks that was paired with a tart Riesling to cut through the cheese.

The next course was a little heavier as a sunny side up egg was laid across raclette cheese and hashbrowns. A bigger wine was needed, although a white Italian wine with more body was paired with it.

Luckily, this shrimp and grits course was a small portion because I was starting to feel full. This was well paired with a light red wine, Barbera.

And the last course, a "sweet" finish with pancakes covered in a raspberry compote. I was too full to eat much of it, and you know I would have preferred this smothered in chocolate! This was paired with a dry rose to balance out the sweetness.
