Side Dishes: Wining and dining at Price Chopper
Wine tasting isn't only for folks who frequent fancy restaurants. This Saturday, Price Chopper [1] on Shelburne Road shows off six wines, including Rosemount Shiraz and Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc, along with samples of specialty cheeses, store-made "artisan" breads and seafood.
This will be the store's third pairing since legislation made it legal for holders of second-class liquor licenses to pour for patrons. Why wine? Store manager Gary Trudo believes "there are a lot of customers who want to try wine, but because of the price point, they're nervous . . ."
Though not a wine drinker himself, Trudo came up with the idea. "I thought it was a great opportunity . . . I know how important wines are to the food table," he explains. Trudo says most other Vermont 'Choppers now hold tastings, too. Don't forget to bring your ID.
