There’s just six days left to enjoy The Capital Grille’s Generous Pour. For a mere $28 you can enjoy all-you-care-to-drink wine from some of the most influential women in the wine world.
Seven of California’s great female winemakers and collaborators, including award-winning actress Drew Barrymore, have come together to celebrate women and wine as part of the restaurant’s seventh annual Generous Pour event.
The Generous Pour will celebrate the unique role women play in winemaking with this year’s offerings. Now through August 30, for $28 per person with dinner, The Capital Grille will offer eight remarkable wines crafted, designed or owned by women from some of California’s most acclaimed vineyards.
We recently sat down for dinner at The Capital Grille, here’s what we enjoyed and recommend tasting before The Generous Pour comes to a close. And PS it’s MAGICAL DINING MONTH (insert happy dance here). So yes, that means you can enjoy this fabulous wine for $28 and a three course meal for $33. Why are you not making a reservation right now? Okay, back to the food and wine, here are some must taste dishes and drinks!
Stoli Doli: The Capital Grille signature martini. Stolichnaya Vodka infused with fresh pineapple, chilled and served straight up. Ever see those large pineapple jars in the bar? It’s not just for show, they are used to create the most fantastic cocktail.
Lobster and Crab Cakes: A delightful crab cake filled with large chunks of yes…lobster AND crab. It’s seaside heaven on a plate.
Pan-Fried Calamari with Hot Cherry Peppers: I’m usually not a calamari connoisseur, but this steaming plate of battered goodness was enough to change my mind. A signature Capital Grille dish and one that pairs perfectly with Drew Barrymore’s Pinot Grigio which is part of The Generous Pour lineup.
Filet Mignon: The best filet in town. Nobody else compares. I’ll let the imagery speak for itself with this plate.
Bone-In Kona Crusted Dry Aged NY Strip with Shallot Butter +
Porcini Rubbed Bone-In Ribeye with 15-Year Aged Balsamic: Two dry aged steaks that are tender, juicy and layered with impeccable flavor.
Lobster Mac ‘N’ Cheese: Also known as my new BFF. It’s the perfect accompaniment to, well, everything. This is a must order dish.
Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake + Coconut Cream Pie + Cheesecake with Seasonal Berries: All housemade and baked to perfection. It doesn’t matter how full you are, there’s always room for dessert, especially this dessert.
Okay, that’s enough of my Capital Grille gushing. Now go make a reservation!
