On Sunday,
April 30, Compass Restaurant in New York City is hosting an exclusive
six-course meal prepared by Chef John Fraser paired with hand-picked Vega Scilia wines. Vega Scilia is known for their
meticulous wine making processes coupled with an extremely long aging period and low harvest yields which result in
their famous wines prized for their complexity, elegance, and finesse. This unique opportunity to explore wines from
Spain’s most stately producer, while at the same time savoring the imaginative, sophisticated flavor pairings
will cost $515. Read further to see Fraser’s 6-course menu paired with appropriate wines:
