Who: VN Office Manager Lyndsay Orwig and Editorial Assistant Liz Miller
What: Dinner hosted by Yellow+Blue Wines at the amazing Millennium Restaurant
Where: San Francisco, Calif.
When: Thursday, May 6, 2010
Why: Because who passes up a delicious meal and wine tasting at Millennium? Not us!
The Scoop: It was late afternoon last Wednesday, and staring at me from my inbox was an invitation from Yellow+Blue Wines to a complimentary dinner at the vegan mecca that is Millennium to taste their newly launched wines, which are certified organic. My taste buds quickly fired up, and I responded with a very enthusiastic "Yes!"
One of the four wines we tasted
The next day, Liz and I excitedly boarded the Muni to downtown San Francisco with every intention to meet new people, taste good vino, and stuff ourselves silly, and we succeeded on all fronts. The hosts were Yellow+Blue (makes green, get it?) founder, Matt Cain, and its PR representative, Julie Conover. While discussing such topics as the wine industry, the environment, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (don't ask), we were served a four-course dinner along with wine pairings, including the Chickpea and Almond Encrusted Oyster Mushrooms paired with the fruity 2009 Torrontes wine, a Mushroom Duxelle Roulade with the 2008 Malbec, and a carrot cake dessert with the 2009 Rosé. Perfection, if you ask me.

The ridiculously good roulandeWith are taste buds completely satisfied, Liz and I made our way home. Needless to say, it was a lovely evening.
