Tucson, AZ (RestaurantNews.com) My Big Fat Greek Restaurant at 4177 E Highway 90 in Sierra Vista, AZ has kicked off a great new series of monthly Wednesday night wine and food pairings. The next such evening takes place on Wednesday, January 4th at 6:30 pm and will feature wines from Kief-Joshua Vineyards (www.kj-vineyards.com). The price is $25 per person for four or more courses paired with wine. For more information please visit www.eatmoregreek.com/restaurant/sierra-vista.html or call 520-459-1306 to make reservations.
Kief-Joshua is part of the Sonoita Wine Tour, which was selected by USA Today as one of the top ten wine trails in the nation. In the interests of sustainability their vines are free of pesticides and herbicides.
“Our first food and wine pairing evening on December 7th with Sonoita Vineyards was such a hit we decided to hold them monthly,” stated Field Restaurant and My Big Fat Greek Restaurant Owner and CEO Ryan Field. “This is just the sort of culinary evening Sierra Vista area residents have been looking for and we are proud to be bringing it to them, especially since our Sierra Vista Managing Partner Thomas Bruge is the only sommelier in the area and can pair wines and food with the best of them. Believe me, it’s a fantastic evening.”
My Big Fat Greek Restaurant is open for lunch, happy hour and dinner from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The high energy dining experience provides a mixture of new age and modern Greek music with lots of Greek dancing, fire blowing and plate breaking (an old Greek tradition), with occasional live entertainment.
The menu highlights Mediterranean dishes, wood fired pizzas and a delightful kids menu. Diners can savor such dishes as the lamb chops served with lemon roasted potatoes or a gyro with cucumber yogurt sauce (tzatziki) and fresh pita. Appetizers include Flaming Saganaki flambéed table side or a Spanakopita, a spinach pie stuffed with spinach, feta and herbs.
Field Restaurants owns a number of other restaurants, including My Big Fat Greek Restaurants in Tucson, AZ, Sierra Vista, AZ, Colorado Springs, CO and Olathe, KS.
