Fleming’s Skinny Sippin’ Summer

Summer is here and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar plans on celebrating it in style, from the first splash of sunscreen to the last dollop of barbecue sauce. To keep things flowing all summer long, Fleming’s is offering guilt-free cocktails in honor of (gulp!) swimsuit season.

The new Mojita Bonita—created by Maeve Pesquera, Fleming’s new Director of Wine and master cocktail-maker—is the first of three 99-calorie “Skinnier Cocktails” introduced on the first day of each month, all summer long.

 “Since we’re heading into bikini season, it had to be under 100 calories. So to begin, I replaced the rum with Stoli Vanil vodka. It has such a great silky essence. To kick up the fruit flavor, I added a little pineapple juice along with fresh lime juice. Of course, the fresh mint gives it such a refreshing quality,” says Pesquera.

The Mojito is a cocktail that evokes hot days and warm balmy evenings. Inspired by Pesquera’s memories of hot summer nights in her native Texas, she’s created a magnificent Mojito with only 99 calories. The idea was to take a classic cocktail and put a low-cal, contemporary spin on it. The Mojita Bonita is smooth and fruity, but also elegant and refined.

“For a couple of weeks, my kitchen looked like a cocktail laboratory with nightly Mojito tastings. It was perfect. A delightful, new taste twist on the classic mojito. I call it my Mojita Bonita because at 99 calories, it’s a beautiful thing.”

Fleming’s is located at 25 E. Ohio St., Chicago, Ill.; (312) 329-9463 and 960 Milwaukee Ave., Lincolnshire, Ill.; (847) 793-0333. Visit www.flemingsteakhouse.com for more information.

Fleming's Uncorks its Newest Handcrafted Boutique Wine

Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar has introduced its newest private label wine – Forty-Six  Diamonds, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley, 2008 – which is available in each of its 64 restaurants across the country, including two Chicago area locations: 25 E. Ohio St., Chicago; 312-329-9463, and 960 Milwaukee Ave., Lincolnshire; 847-793-0333.

Marian Jansen op de Haar, Fleming’s National Director of Wine, partnered with famed California winemaker Walter Schug and his son Axel of Schug Winery to bottle this 2008 blend. Walter Schug was the winemaker for Joseph Phelps in 1974 when they introduced Napa’s first officially recognized Bordeaux style blend, the iconic Phelps Insignia.

The grapes for this year’s Forty-Six Diamonds were sourced from four outstanding Sonoma Valley vineyards: Rancho Salina, located in the hills next to the famous Monte Rosso vineyard; Atwood, located in a cool, foggy patch on the valley floor near Kenwood; and Horne and Ricci, both in Carneros.  The wine is a big, polished Cabernet-blend with dark cassis, plum, blueberry and black currant fruit flavors, with fine-grained integrated tannins and a long finish.

            Fleming’s produced its first private label Forty-Six Diamonds in 2007 and since that time has collaborated annually with premium wineries and winemakers to create a wine that is truly one of a kind.

““Forty-Six Diamonds was a natural progression for Fleming’s ongoing commitment to provide the very best wine experience for our guests,” says Jansen op de Haar. “We enjoy creating memorable times on many different levels, and we’re proud to share this limited-edition private label wine with our guests. Our goal every year is make food friendly, harmonious wines that reveal their origins.”

Other winemakers who have collaborated in the creation of Forty-Six Diamonds in past years include Michael and Rob Mondavi, Jr. of the famed Napa family, Ken Deis of Flora Springs, and George and Frank DuBoeuf of Beaujolais. According to Jansen op de Haar, in 2011 Fleming’s will partner next with Salvatore Ferragamo of Il Borro Winery in Tuscany, Italy.

 Thomas Arvid, internationally renowned artist and wine aficionado who was commissioned to create the label for this handcrafted boutique wine, also assisted in the blending of Forty-Six Diamonds.  Each year, his label design features a diamond shape in homage to the wine’s name.  Arvid’s oversized still life paintings of wine and the rituals around it adorn the walls of every Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar across the country.

Fleming’s Memorable Meals: Maine Lobster & Seafood Boil for Two for $99

A New 3-Course Menu, Available for a Limited Time Only This Summer

Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar kicks off summer with a Memorable Meal that recalls the spirit of a picnic on the rocky shores of the New England coast. Through August 15, guests can enjoy a Maine Lobster & Seafood Boil for two for $99 at two Chicago area Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse locations: 25 E. Ohio St., Chicago, Ill., and 960 Milwaukee Ave., Lincolnshire, Ill.

Created by Executive Chef Russell Skall, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse Memorable Meals bring back favorite dining experiences – the ones that capture the place, the time, the flavors and the people you share them with. The Memorable Meals have been implemented locally by Chef Partner Jerl Griffin at Chicago and Chef Partner Roger Abuan at Lincolnshire. Chef Skall’s inspiration for this summer tradition starts with fresh Maine lobster.

"One of my favorite ways to enjoy Maine Lobster is in a traditional New England Seafood Boil," says Chef Skall. "It’s a simple yet stylish way to prepare the summertime ocean harvest. I find a large pot and fill it with market-fresh seafood, add fresh vegetables and seasonings, then boil it. If I were cooking on the beach or at home, we would serve it in the traditional manner — the contents simply spread out on a newspaper in the middle of a table for all to share."

For Fleming’s Maine Lobster & Seafood Boil, Chef Skall also adds Manila clams, mussels and shrimp, along with fresh corn on the cob, new potatoes and andouille sausage, all cooked in a delicious stock. This dish is served in a bowl with freshly baked buttermilk drop biscuits and a coleslaw salad with fresh tomatoes and sliced mozzarella tossed with apple cider vinaigrette. The meal concludes with another summer favorite – a fruit cobbler of fresh peaches and dried cranberries for dessert.

Fleming’s Maine Lobster & Seafood Boil for Two is available for only $99* (not including tax and gratuity). It can also be ordered for one at $49.50. It is available at Fleming’s through August 15. This Memorable Meal is not on Fleming’s regular menu and available to Friends of Fleming’s who either make a reservation online or mention the "Memorable Meal" when making a reservation by phone.

*Does not include tax or gratuity. Memorable Meals are not on Fleming’s regular menu and are available through 8/15/10 at all Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse restaurants.
