SOLEDAD, Calif., July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This summer, CRŪ
Winery is on the hunt for the best chowder recipe with their
Chowder Cook-Off Contest. Now through August
6th, California
residents can submit their best chowder recipe for a chance to
win.
The Chowder Cook-Off is a tribute to the winery's Central Coast
wines and tasting room located in Monterey's Santa Lucia Highlands. Chowder
recipes will be judged on creativity, overall quality and how well
the recipes pair with the variety of CRŪ Winery's single vineyard
Chardonnays. From the recipes submitted, the winery will select two
runners-up who will receive a 2-night stay in Monterey, California. During their trip, the
runners-up will participate in the Chowder Cook-Off at CRŪ Winery's
Santa Lucia Highlands Tasting Room. At the event they will prepare
their chowder recipe for a panel of judges who will determine the
best chowder recipe and crown the Chowder Cook-Off Champion.
The Chowder Cook-Off event is Saturday,
September 21st and is open to the public.
Attendees will get to watch the Chowder Cook-Off and have a chance
to try the final chowder recipes paired with CRŪ wines. In
addition, attendees will be able to enjoy chowder and artisan bites
from Phresh Catering, Real Good Fish and A Party for your
Palate.
"I love pairing chowder with our Chardonnays. The versatility of
chowder draws out the layers of flavor in the wine." says
CRŪ Winery winemaker Jose
Reyes. "With the Chowder Cook-Off contest, we are excited to
introduce wine lovers to new chowder recipes that perfectly
complement our variety of Chardonnays. We can't wait to try the
final chowders and celebrate at the Chowder Cook-Off in
September."
