Release of 2007 Silver Oak Alexander Available Only at Fleming’s Beginning August 6
From time to time, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar (25 E. Ohio St., Chicago; 312-329-9463 and 960 Milwaukee Ave., Lincolnshire, Ill.; 847-793-0333) likes to offer guests the opportunity to enjoy a bottle of special wine at a great price through the Fleming’s Icon Wine program. Starting August 6, Fleming's will have the exclusive release for the 2007 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, coinciding with the winery release. Fleming’s will be the only restaurant to offer this wine and will have exclusivity on it for approximately one week.
The 2007 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a profound, fruit-driven wine from a great California vintage. It has a dark ruby color with a purple edge and an inviting nose of ripe black plum, blackberry, baking spices and soy sauce. On the palate, the wine is rich and full, reminiscent of the flavors of a berry cobbler. It has a long, fruity finish with fine grained tannins, and is a testament to exquisite ripeness at moderate alcohol. With proper cellaring, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2031.

Capriole Farm's Judy Schad visits Prairie Fire Wednesday, July 20
Cocktails featuring local, fresh, and organic products, along with beer and wine, will be available for purchase.
Friday, July 22 - Guest Bartenders
What will Uva be like? Spain seems to be the biggest influence, which is no big surprise since Uva means grape in Spanish and Mark spent the recent past as chef of Carnivale. According to Chicago Magazine, the restaurant will have a small-plate menu, and will also serve an "an affordable selection of Spanish and global wines." Wines also will be available on tap.
The Tribune reports that Spanish influence will carry over to the food, too. Though the menu isn't finalized, it will include some tapas standards. An official opening date hasn't been set but Mendez hopes it will open in the fall.Uva, 1023 W. Lake St, Chicago, IL 60607
