Helvetia Winery and Jimmy Carrasquer join for the second time to create a winemaker dinner . . .
                       An Evening in España
Paella, the signature dish of Spain, has been a tradition in Jimmy’s family for generations. Family gatherings have long centered around making and eating paella. Jimmy first made paella nearly twenty years ago. He learned the technique from his Tia and TÃo at their humble cottage in the Valencian countryside. He started preparing paella at home for a few guests and was soon catering friend’s parties just for fun. Before long he put his high-tech career on hold to make paella full-time. And thus, PDX Paella was born!
“I just have to tell you that the Paella you made us was FABULOUS! You were so much fun to watch and the Paella was absolutely delicious. I will definitely recommend you to all of my friends and coworkers!! “Muchas Gracias” Yelp Review – Ethan
On Saturday June 16th at 6pm, we invite you to join us for a special paella winemaker dinner. Dinner includes Paella, side salad and bread. Seating will be under the beautiful summer sky and wine will be available for purchase.
