Oh yeah, it's on.
From 6 to 9 p.m. on Father's Day, Sunday, June 19, Cowboy Ciao owner Peter Kasperski and Citizen Public House operator and partner (and former Ciaoster) Andrew Fritz will go head to head in a sommelier showdown to take place at Cowboy Ciao in Scottsdale.
Five courses with two wine pairings for each will be served with guests deciding the winner. Yummies include duck chicharrones salad, a lamb shank "enchilada," and apple pie featuring pastry chef Country Velador's housemade American oak vanilla ice cream.
If dad likes a good fight along with a stunning glass of vino and a forkful or two of good eats, this one's for him. Get the full menu and all the details after the jump.
