At the beginning of March we were invited to a Wine tasting in the Washington DC suburb of Oxon Hill. The location of the event was the Succotash restaurant in a vibrant area of Oxon Hill and not far from Maryland’s newest casino MGM Grand. To read a full review of the delicious, mouth quenching Rias Baixas Albariño wines, read Terry’s March 9th blog, Rias Baixas Albariño: the Next Exotic White Wine.
At Succotash, the presenter of the Albariño wine taste was Mark Oldman, a wine writer who has published several wine books with his most recent being, How to Drink Like a Billionaire. The tasting involved several Albariño wines from the Spanish region of Rias Baixas. Several food bites prepared by the Succotash chef were paired with Albariño wines.
The Succotash restaurant offers a southern style menu including the renowned succotash. Check out these Succotash food photos from the wine tasting.
Perhaps one of the most striking pieces of decor at the restaurant is a baby grand piano that was taken apart and a large portion was repurposed as a decoration.
If you have not been to the Succotash restaurant, view the photos below. Notice that outdoor seating is also available. Check out the additional photos for an idea of what the Succotash experience is like.
Cheers!
