As the exclusive wine sponsor of Tampa Bay Restaurant Week, Prescription Vineyards is hosting our ‘Friday-Eve Live’ to kick off the week with musical artist Carl Wockner at Epicurean, located in Tampa’s SoHo District, to kick off the culinary event. Carl was named the first and ONLY Australian artist to ever win Top Honors at the International Acoustic Music Awards.
Playing off the pop-culture phenomenon of people jump-starting their weekend and calling Thursday ‘Friday Eve,’ the happy hour mixer is part wine tasting, part musical showcase. The evening’s wine and music will pair with delicious bites by Élevage SoHo Kitchen & Bar created by Chef Adam Hyatt!
As a precursor to Tampa Bay Restaurant Week, Prescription Vineyards will be hosting a Happy Hour event with Chef Adam Hyatt at the Élevage SoHo Kitchen & Bar in the Epicurean Hotel. We’ll be paring steak bites with our Prescription Vineyards 2019 Clarksburg Chardonnay. As part of our tasting, we’ll also be performing a foodie parlor trick with slices of apple, lemon, and a sprinkle of sea salt to demonstrate how food and wine react with the flavors of sweet, umami, salt, and acid, and how to balance your recipes to make wine taste beautiful with virtually any dish.
Our ultimate goal is to demonstrate that our Clarksburg Chardonnay pairs beautifully with steak. The wine’s higher acidity (more than most California Chardonnays) cuts through the fat of steak while its lush mouthfeel matches the rich texture of the meat.
From a historical perspective, talk to northern Italians, they’ve been drinking white wine with steak for centuries. The tradition: finish your steak with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of sea salt. Just like a sip of Prescription Chardonnay, the acidity of the lemon nicely contrasts the fat in steak and helps break down the collagen, giving the meat a balanced flavor profile and a succulent bite. The sprinkle of sea salt intensifies aromas, balances other flavors, makes the meat taste juicier, and increases tenderness while making your wine taste softer and more luscious.

Recent The Tasting Panel & The Somm Journal Scores for Our New Releases
Enhanced by notes of chervil, oregano, and chamomile, a luscious lemon meringue eeks out at mid-palate. Crushed stone, white pepper and vibrant minerality – plus that spark of acidity – is just the right Rx for its great food-pairing abilities. 92
>>> Publisher’s Picks
Lloyd Cellars 2020 Chardonnay, Carneros ($40)
Creamy notes of toasted vanilla, with a surge of cookie dough, ripe melon, kiwi, and peanut brittle. The wine caresses with a sumptuous touch. 94
>>> Down the Aisle
Prescription Cellars 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley, Sonoma County ($30)
Grainy tannins fulfill a mission to coat the teeth with blueberry compote. The gushing, dynamo of a wine features plump plums, powdered cocoa, and blooming lavender. This Prescription is really an over-the-counter cure for disbelievers of Alexander Valley’s side effect of textural lushness. Winemaker Rob Lloyd over-delivers on some amazing medicine for the soul. 93
>>> Publisher’s Picks Section
Lloyd Cellars by Robert Lloyd 2019 Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills, Santa Barbara County ($50)
Its carmine hue is deep and inviting, and scents of heather and a woodsy forest are sensual. Full and generous with a lather of huckleberry and dark chocolate coffee bean. Layers of tilled soil and dried flowers keep it exciting and complex. The brown-sugared cinnamon finish goes deep on the finish. 94
