Penn Alumni and Others Enjoy Wine Tasting


The Penn Alumni Club hosted a Wine and Food Pairing at Jo-Anne Kaplan's house led by wine expert Melina Mastrojohn of HEB on Saturday, March 23.  There were five different pairings:  a Prosecco with fruit kebobs, grilled vegetables and pasta with a Sauvignon Blanc, spicy Mac & Cheese and Spicy Chipotle Shrimp en brochette with a Chardonnay, chocolate pots de creme with a Merlot and Angel Food Cake with Raspberry Coulis paired with a sparkling Moscato.  For those of us who love to eat well, it was fun to learn how the flavors of food can be enhanced by the correct wine.
