In the opinion of the St. Petersburg Foodies, The Prisoner Wine Co. crafts some of the best wines in the world, and Parkshore Grill’s cuisine is the perfect exquisite match, especially when you have Chef Tyson Grant at the helm.

You know the old sarcastic joke; “It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.”? Well, we found out first hand that while quite a bit of fun and quite a bit of wine can be had, there is still some pressure involved. This is especially true when you are sitting with the Master Chef, tasting and sniffing wine and he asks you what type of food YOU think would pair nicely with the wine.

You want to know what I THINK, Chef!?!?! Apparently so. Lori and I were honored, humbled, and perhaps just a tad bit intimidated when Chef Tyson invited us to taste the new Prisoner wine releases and to help him craft the 5-course menu to go with the five wines. Yes please! Sign me up!

We swirled, sniffed, sipped, tasted and thought about which comestibles might marry well with each magical nectar. Chef reminded us that sometimes you match the wine with fare that has a similar flavor profile, and other times it’s best to contrast the food with the essence of the wine. We used to think that bacon solved all problems, but found out that it didn’t match with the merlot at all. It completely flattened it. Look at Lori’s notes below where she wrote; “Bacon didn’t work well”. You will also notice that we changed the order of two of the wines.

What an amazing experience to sit with such an amazing chef and to have a hand in crafting the menu for this dinner!  Chef actually took Lori’s suggestion on a Brûlée for dessert.  Of course he put his own artistic spin on the final confection and we are so excited to see this menu come to fruition.  The next step…execution.  We have no doubt that Chef Tyson will bring this menu to life in the pairing with these exceptional wines!
