Kenny Iguana's WineTastic Wednesday

9/1/2011

Having opened just this past July, Kenny Iguana’s Night Club & Restaurant is still evolving to find a delicious mix of music and food which will  please customers in St. Thomas and nearby.

The music focus has been on Tribute Bands, although a recent venture into Friday evening dinner hour jazz brought requests for more that are being given serious consideration.

Recently,  Chef Jeff Ryersee and Rebekah Ryersee took on the management of the restaurant portion of Kenny Iguana’s. They are working to make Kenny’s a restaurant destination. Jeff is originally from Union, and for the past few years has been in Niagara as Chef du Partie at the Hilton Watermark Restaurant. While there, he devoted some serious time and energy to learning wines and, says Rebekah, “found his wife”. Rebekah’s background is in Hotel Management so they make a formidable restaurant management team.

The past few Wednesdays have found a growing group of wine fans joining Chef Jeff for WineTastic Wednesdays from 7 to 10pm in the wine lounge. For $20 they have enjoyed select wine tastings, delicious hor deurves and wine discussion.

On Wednesday August 31st,  Argentine Malbecs were featured. Jeff presented a nice selection for tasting, accompanied by stuffed mushrooms, empanada and fresh salsa. The wine discussion was casual, and the atmosphere relaxed (the funky décor and big coffee-table help with that) – a nice reward for making it half-way through the work week.

The Wednesday September 7th session will feature wines from Chile. WineTastic Wednesday will ramp it up on Wednesday September 28th with a Winemaker’s Dinner.
