Milo’s Restaurateur
Costas Spiliadis is known for
excellence in Greek Dining serving the freshest Mediterranean seafood found
throughout the world. He has now taken it up a notch featuring boutique wines
from all over this very ancient land. In Las Vegas, guests can now enjoy a
monthly Winemaker’s Table Dinner on the first Thursday of each month. These
dinners provide an outstanding, rare
opportunity to experience organic, world-class wines produced from indigenous
varieties by award winning winemakers accented by a specially designed, six-course
tasting menu featuring Milos' signature
dishes.
Recently, the Pelopnonnese
region was featured with excellence on the plate and in the glass. Chef’s
selection of oysters served with dill cucumber mignonette and a crisp 2016
Rhous Estate White wine was a splendid beginning to the six-course tasting menu
($79 per person).
Pan seared bay scallops with olive oil and sea salt were the
next offering and paired beautifully with a 2016 Tselepos Canava Assyrtiko
wine. A meal would not be complete without a tasty fish selection from this renowned
venue and Milo’s has an elaborate display of fish and produce that is
prominently featured for guests to look at as they make their menu decisions.
On this occasion, perfectly prepared grilled grouper served with Mediterranean
couscous and a 2015 Venetsanos Nykteri wine certainly delighted all that
attended.
The wine pairings were spot on as the 2016 Venetsanos Mandilara married wonderfully with a colorful
dish of red yellow and orange Holland Peppers with EVOO, roasted garlic, aged
balsamic and grilled mushrooms.
Colorado Grilled Prime Lamb chops with steamed
broccoli and cauliflower arrived tableside and provided guests with an exceptional
cut of lamb, paired with 2014 Rhous Kotsifali Mandilara “skipper red” wine.
The big FINI was just that; a fabulous
dining experience coming to an end with
a sweet and tart
Kardopita served with Kaimaki ice cream and fresh fruit paired with 2014
RhousVidiano/Plyto “skipper white”wine.
The Milos
Winemaker Table Dinner’s provide novices and experienced oenophiles and
opportunity to learn about small production Greek wines and some of the most
authentic Greek dishes that can be found outside of the Mediterranean itself.
