June means beer and BBQ at Oasis Cafe

Summer Solstice Wine and Beer Dinner

Oasis Cafe will play host to a summer solstice wine and beer tasting dinner on Thursday, June 21, starting at 6:30 p.m. Chef Billy Sotelo has carefully tasted each wine and beer offering and prepared some unique flavor combinations to best complement each course. The four-course dinner will take place on Oasis Cafe’s refreshing courtyard patio and seating is limited.

“We’re excited to be offering seasonal pairing educational dinners,” said Will Keesen, general manager, “our beautiful courtyard patio is absolutely popping in a profusion of color and once the stars come out, there is a magical feel.” The cost for dinner is $45 and an additional $20 for optional wine pairings.

BBQ at Oasis

If you can’t make the dinner, don’t worry. Two seasonal barbecue specials will run all through June, each for just $25; these will help guests to herald the beginning of the grilling season and the re-opening of Oasis’ refreshing courtyard patio.

The specials will run all month and include a starter course of watermelon salad or gazpacho soup and a “chef’s selection” of dessert. During the week of June 11-16, the entree will be cedar plank salmon with house pickled red onion and during the week of June 17-23 he will feature a dry rub crusted flank steak with baked calypso beans.

Hi, I’m Stuart, nice to meet you!  I’m the founder, writer and wrangler at Gastronomic SLC.  I’m a multiple-award winning journalist and have written in myopic detail about the Salt Lake City  dining scene for the better part of seventeen years.

I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV.   Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune.    I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand.   What they’re saying about me: “Not inaccurate”, “I thought he was older”, “I don’t share his feelings”.
