Chef Thomas Ciszak
Chakra Restaurant will welcome Jose Moro of Bodegas Emilio Moro for a rare dinner of highly rated wines from Spain’s Ribera del Duero on Monday October 20 at 6:30pm. The dinner at Chakra will be Jose Moro’s only event in New Jersey and he will be discussing his acclaimed wines and the history of the bodega, which was started by his father Emilio.
The event kicks off with a “Meat & Greet” reception featuring Chakra’s House-cured Mangalitsa Ham, which is cured in the restaurant’s wine room, paired with a Rosado wine. To follow, Chef Thomas Ciszak has created a four-course menu to pair with four wines made with the region’s signature grape Tinto Fino (aka Tempranillo).
Chakra is at 144 W. State Rte. 4, Paramus. Reception is at 6:30pm and dinner at 7pm.
