| January Wine Dinner: Wines of France's Languedoc Region! | |||
 Monday, January 14, 7 - 9:30 pm The history of viticulture in the wilderness of France's Languedoc dates back to the 5th century B.C. The Greeks were the first to plant vines here, making the vineyard land in this region some of the oldest in France. This southern part of France, with its temperate climate is a fantastic environment for grapes, and more wine is produced in Languedoc than in any other French wine region. Indeed quantity does not always coincide with quality, and for the early years of the last century this region was well known for cheap, innocuous wines. The last thirty years however, have brought a new generation of winemakers to the region and they have seized upon the potential of this land for great wines made from old vineyards in ancient riverbeds. Their efforts are rewarded with artisanal wines that clearly express a sense of place. Join us for a sampling of some special wines from one of France's least known, but very exciting regions. Six beautifully matched courses, prepared by Panzanella Chef Chris Capron will be served. The cost of this event is $45 per person; space is limited, so reserve early. Please pay in advance and pick up a ticket for this tasting at either Panzanella or the customer service desk at Weaver Street Market in Carrboro. |

| Authentic Food News |
 Our Co-op Wide Commitment to Authentic FoodAlong with Weaver Street Market, Panzanella will no longer use products that contain trans fats and high fructose corn syrup. Panzanella's kitchen did not have many products with those ingredients, so this commitment will not make much of a change in our food. We've had to find replacements for the ketchup, mayonnaise, and cooking oil spray that we'd been using. Orangina has been replaced by San Pellegrino's Aranciata. The exceptions to the co-op wide bans are bar items such as soft drinks from the soda gun and other cocktail mixers, which often contain high-fructose corn syrup. They will continue to be used, as presently we have not found replacements for them. |
