In this series of wine dinners, the “alter-eno” (a play on alter ego) is a second, less expected wine pairing. Studying together for diplomas from the International Sommelier Guild, the wine stewards at Crush(Chris Tanghe) and Monsoon (James Lechner) have teamed up to create this monthly dinner series, which will alternate between the two restaurants. Each meal will encompass five or six courses, and the stewards will match both a traditional and an alternate wine to each course. This month’s dinner at Crush features Kumomoto oysters with verjus foam, foie gras carpaccio, and buttermilk sweetbreads with lobster sauce. The wines range from an Australian muskateller to a Capellano barolo, with many (many) more. Crush2319 E.
