This just came in, and I couldn’t wait another minute to get out the word. Sean Minor of Sean Minor Wines will be in town to host a dinner March 12 at Biga, and I have all of the details.

Over the past year or so, Sean Minor wines have emerged among the most popular in the $15 to $25 category and are considered an extraordinary value when compared to the quality of the wines.

Nicole and Sean Minor started Four Bears Winery and Sean Minor Wines in 2005 in Napa Valley, the former named after their children, Nick, Elle, Jack and Charlie.

Today, they make chardonnay, pinot noir, sauvignon blanc and cabernet sauvignon under the Sean Minor Four Bears label, and cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir and a red blend (six grapes topped by about 50 percent merlot) under the Sean Minor label.

Based on conversations with wine retailers, the Sean Minor pinot noir has become one of the most popular pinots among Tulsa wine lovers.

The dinner at Biga, 4329 S. Peoria Ave., will be a five-course affair with four wines. In order:

1. Antipasti – crab cakes with red bell pepper aioili, Permesan crackers, gorgonzola mousse with Port wine and spiced nuts, and Italian sausage in puffed pastry; paired with Sean Minor Four Bears sauvignon blanc.

2. Salad – burrata with prosciutto, arugula and pesto; paired with Sean Minor chardonnay.

3. Pasta –rabbit ragu with rigatoni; paired with Sean Minor pinot noir.

4. Entrée – braised beef with sweet and hot paprika from Trieste; paired with Sean Minor cabernet sauvignon.

5. Dessert – chocolate risotto pudding.

This one is a bargain at $45, plus tax and gratuity, and should sell out quickly. Reservations: 918-743-2442.
