During this challenging year for music and musicians, Philharmonic Music Director Josep Caballé-Domenech invited supporters to the virtual Uncorked, a wine and music pairing and a performance by a famed musical guest.
The Sept. 17 fundraiser was a symbol of hope for future Philharmonic performances, presenters said. “All you need is a comfortable chair and online access to Zoom. We’ll take care of the rest,” according to the invitation.
Delivered to homes were three bottles of West Coast wines from Sovereignty Wines chosen by Sommelier Michaela Hightower, matched with paired bites created by Patti White.
A pinot gris 2019 went with a baby greens salad with walnuts, pears and goat cheese for the first pairing.
Pairing Two: O’Beron Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, “a bad boy red,” with grilled flank steak and a dried cherry port sauce and Gorgonzola crumble.
For dessert: Milbrandt Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 with Petits Pots de Crème au Chocolate.
And on Zoom, renowned pianist Anne-Marie McDermott, artistic director of the Vail Valley Music Festival and, since 1995, artist member of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
