Goddesses of the Glass at The Fountain on Locust

The Goddesses of the Glass event was my second event in a row celebrating women in food and beverage! This one was held at The Fountain on Locust, who paired their regular menu items with the selected wine, sake, and cocktail that was the focus of the evening. 

Darryl Vennard was our host as he explained their connection to exceptional women!

Wines and Sake

Honestly, I was also interested in trying some of the Fountain dishes that I normally would never order. I have heard nothing but wonderful things about the pickle soup, and it lived up to the hype! The Fukucho sake was an interesting pairing, but it did cut through the thickness of the soup.

The Spinach Artichoke Dip was shared at the table, and this totally could be a full meal. It's very addictive to eat and it stood out because there weren't huge chucks of artichokes to get in the way. Every bite was super creamy. This made the Heron Sauvignon Blanc a good pairing, although normally something more crisp would be required.

The Prosperity Panini was actually a vegetarian sandwich of spicy hummus, tomato, onion, red pepper, and zucchini. With all those rich flavors, the Graffito Malbec was able to stand up to it. Unfortunately, I was so stuffed from the previous courses, I had to skip the bread. I would definitely recommend this to a vegetarian friend, although you could add turkey or ham to this sandwich when ordering it off the menu.

One last Fountain classic was the World's Smallest Ice Cream Sundae and you better believe I somehow found room for this dessert! The Epilogue Cocktail made up of Kamora an Fernett Branca was a bit too bitter and heavy for me.

Hopefully there will be more themed dinners on Monday nights while they are closed!
