| Wine Tasting at Cu |
The 60 or so
guests who attended were served five beautiful wines and dined on shrimp, spare
ribs, crab cakes, an assortment of fresh veggies, fruits and cheeses and
chocolate covered strawberries in a casual yet elegant atmosphere.
We started
off with French champagne followed by St. Supery Virtu 2012 (my favorite) and
several other wines ranging from Ancien Pinot Noir to John Anthony Cabernet
Sauvignon from the Napa Valley.
What made
this particular tasting so special was the way it was organized—or should I say
the way it was not. The very gracious
wine reps mingled with the guests and poured the wines in order.
You could sit at the bar, the tables or the couches at the end of the bar. No one was overlooked and the relaxed event was so much fun for everyone.

The wine bar,
Cu [Copper], is a favorite in Dilworth and has been rearranged inside to accommodate
more guests with a feeling of more space and room to move around. We spoke with several guests who live
upstairs in the condos and more who walked from their homes. The wine tasting is so popular one couple
drove in from Belmont as they often do because they love dining in the
restaurant.

| GM Billy Schaefer and friend |
The General
Manager Billy Schaefer, who has recently relocated from the Asheville area, and
his go-to girl Molly Rountree have given the spot a new energy and obvious
feeling of fun and new friendships.

One of the
great ideas is a guest membership card (free) which keeps track of monies spent
during the month, earning great discounts and comps on food, drinks and wine.
The monthly
tastings are $20 and dinner menu items are in the $30. We promise you if you are a rib lover don’t
miss out. The baby backs at 131 Main are among the best in town.
