Chef Chris Vergara will prepare a four-course menu at Saint George Bistro (Hastings-on-Hudson) to complement esteemed wines from the Spanish winery Bodegas Emilio Moro on Tuesday October 21 at 7 pm. The Moro family has been making wine for more than 120 years in Ribera del Duero, one of the recognized wine-producing regions of Northern Spain. The winery is family-owned with 625 acres of vineyards that are located at 1,950 feet in elevation on the banks of the Duero River within the town of Pesquera de Duero. All Moro wines are made from Tempranillo grapes, known as Tinto Fino in the Ribera del Duero region.
