Sleight of Hand & Mark Ryan Winemakers dinner at Monsoon East
BELLEVUE, WA, April 9th, 2014 Sophie and Eric Banh are thrilled to welcome local winemakers Mark McNeilly of Mark Ryan Winery and Trey Busch of Sleight of Hand Cellars for an exclusive wine dinner on Wednesday, May 7.
McNeilly and Busch will also be launching the highly anticipated Idle Hands, a new wine from the Under Ground Wine Project at the dinner. A joint collaboration, the winery produced just a 100 cases of its first wine in 2007. The wine flew out of the winery, and McNeilly and Busch were eager to team up again. Only 700 cases of the 2012 vintage were produced, and they expect them to sell just as quickly. The dinner will provide an opportunity to taste the wine and see the beautiful label designed by a Milanese calligrapher.
Both winemakers will be on hand to talk wine and enjoy the spectacular menu created by the Banhs. This is sure to be a lively, educational, and delicious evening!
The menu is as follows:
Amuse Bouche: Crispy Saigon Shrimp Ball with dill aioli and salmon roe ~Sleight of Hand 2013 Magician's Assistant Cab Franc Rosé

~~~~Mark Ryan Winery: Mark Ryan McNeilly, a largely self-taught winemaker, founded Mark Ryan Winery in 1999. The first vintages were produced and crushed in the Seattle area, but soon Ryan moved to Woodinville, where the winery has grown and flourished. The goal has always been to make delicious wines that stand as true representations of the vineyard from which they come. For more information, visit www.markryanwinery.com.
~~~~Sleight of Hand Winery: Founded in 2007 by Trey Busch and Jerry and Sandy Solomon in Walla Walla, Sleight of Hand Cellars is dedicated to making exceptional wines with Washington grapes. They've quickly garnered awards and are excited about establishing themselves as one of the great Washington wineries. For more information, visit www.sofhcellars.com.
~~~~Monsoon East: Opened in late 2008 by sibling chef duo Sophie and Eric Banh, Monsoon East is the elegant sister restaurant to the original Monsoon located on Seattle's Capitol Hill.
