Upon arrival I was greeted by the owner, Turley Zinfandel wines rep and 12 different bottles of wines to sample!<\/p>\n<p>From 7-8pm we were able to mingle with the other guests attending the wine dinner, sample all of the 12 wines and enjoy a variety of hors d&#8217;oeuvres. We were seated promptly at 8pm and received an overview of the different wines from the Turley Zinfandel wines rep. I poured myself a glass of wine from the bottle at my table and was ready to try some delicious BBQ by executive chef Patrick Longton. His food never disappoints!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glensfalls.com\/gourmet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2012\/07\/wishingwellwinedinner2.jpg\" alt=\"wishingwellwinedinner2.jpg\" width=\"334\" height=\"381\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first course was lumpcrab deviled egg, frisse, crispy speck on brioche toast. I am not a big fan of deviled eggs but I did enjoy it along with all of the other ingredients in the entree. Each entree was presented in a very creative and appetizing way!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glensfalls.com\/gourmet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2012\/07\/wishingwellwinedinner3.jpg\" alt=\"wishingwellwinedinner3.jpg\" width=\"323\" height=\"379\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The second course was my favorite entree of the night. It was a golden pulled pork slider with special coleslaw and a crispy pickle. It was unlike anything I have ever tasted before and it was amazing!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glensfalls.com\/gourmet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2012\/07\/wishingwellwinedinner5.jpg\" alt=\"wishingwellwinedinner5.jpg\" width=\"321\" height=\"406\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The third course was smokey beer can game hen with honey pomegranate lacquer and sauteed spinach. The game hen was juicy and tender, cooked to perfection! I enjoyed the honey pomegranate lacquer that was on top as well, it added a nice flavor to the game hen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glensfalls.com\/gourmet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2012\/07\/wishingwellwinedinner8.jpg\" alt=\"wishingwellwinedinner8.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"382\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the third course we were served watermelon lime agave granite to cleanse our palate and get us ready for the last two courses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glensfalls.com\/gourmet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2012\/07\/wishingwellwinedinner7.jpg\" alt=\"wishingwellwinedinner7.jpg\" width=\"322\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The fourth course was a trio of Worcestershire pepper beef short rib, dry spice rubbed pork ribs and smoked angus brisket with southern baked beans and grilled jumbo asparagus. Living in Texas for 6 months I was able to try some of the best southern food so this entree had some big shoes to fill. I was impressed with everything on my plate. The Wishing Well BBQ surpassed my expectations compared to the BBQ I had living in Texas! I was so happy that I moved back north and that I was able to attend this event!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glensfalls.com\/gourmet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/2012\/07\/wishingwellwinedinner9.jpg\" alt=\"wishingwellwinedinner9.jpg\" width=\"316\" height=\"402\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The final course of the night was a spiced peach cobbler. I was pretty full at this point but I wasn&#8217;t going to let that stop me from eating dessert. The smell of the peaches and toppings made my mouth water when the waitress put this dish in front of me. It was the perfect ending to a delicious BBQ dinner!<\/p>\n<p>Overall I give The Wishing Well BBQ &amp; Zinfandel wine dinner 5 chef hats out of 5! I enjoyed nice conversation at my table, was able to try wines I would not typically order out and the food was outstanding. I did not have one complaint about my night out at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/business\/wishing-well-restaurant-1165\/\">The Wishing Well <\/a>and am looking forward to going back again soon!<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday June 28th I attended my first wine dinner at The Wishing Well.
