Red Rooster Overtown, the acclaimed restaurant by Marcus Samuelsson, invites guests to an exclusive evening celebrating Black History Month through wine and cuisine on January 28th. Hosted by Chef Akino West and special guest sommelier Tiannah Barrett, General Manager of the renowned NYC restaurant Hav & Mar, this five-course dinner highlights exceptional wines from Black-owned producers thoughtfully paired with each course.
The evening begins with Caramelized Plantain & Sweet Potato Madeleines, served with Roasted Grape Butter and Sea Salt, alongside Baby Gem Lettuces with Pear, Pickled Veggies, Spiced Pumpkin Seeds, and Buttermilk Dressing, paired with Viarae Prosecco from Veneto, Italy. The appetizer features Brown Crab Fritters with Smoked Crab Foam and Lemon Thyme Dust, complemented by the crisp 2023 La Fête du Blanc from Côtes de Provence, France. For the entrée, guests will enjoy Smoked Jerk Short Rib accompanied by Confit Garlic Breadfruit Mash and Spiced Turnips, paired with the Three by Wade Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California. A refreshing Melon Granita with Rose and Lime serves as a palate cleanser, perfectly matched with the bright 2023 Michael Lavalle Iris Rosé from Central Coast, California. The evening concludes with a sweet finale: Not Your Momma’s Sweet Potato Pie, featuring Sweet Potato Espuma, Graham Cracker Tart, Sweet Potato Crisp, and Dehydrated Miso, paired with the exquisite 2015 Theopolis Vineyards Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley, California.
