My Wine Cellar & Bistro to host 1st beer dinner March 27 with SanTan

My Wine Cellar & Bistro in Ahwatukee will host its first-ever beer dinner Tuesday, March 27, with downtown Chandler’s SanTan Brewing Co.

In October, My Wine Cellar was bought by Zoya Vora-Shah (pictured), formerly a sales representative with Quail Distributing.

Chef Sara Baer, a graduate of the Scottsdale Culinary Institute, has worked at two acclaimed New York restaurants – Aureole and Aquavit – and served as executive sous chef at the Royal Palms Resort & Spa in Phoenix.

Baer began overhauling the My Wine Cellar’s menu in December. Beside a monthly wine or beer dinner, the bistro offers wine classes and a book club.

The five-course menu and pairings for the March 27 dinner:

• Chef’s choice amuse-bouche with special seasonal beer
• Tempura avocado, bacon and citrus salad with Devil’s Ale
• Samosas with HopShock IPA
• Fish & chips with Epicenter Amber Ale
• Bananas with chocolate sauce and spicy nuts with HefeWeizen

Cost of the 6:30 p.m. dinner is $35++ per person. RSVP: 480-598-9463 or mwc@mywinecellarphx.com.
