Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar Presents The Vintage Rock Wine Dinner

March Event Features Wines By Mick Fleetwood and Doobie Brothers Manager Bruce Cohn of B.R. Cohn

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, Executive Chef Russell Skall has designed a wine dinner that will rock the house with a special menu as unforgettable as a classic guitar lick. Glasses will be filled with wines made by rock 'n' roll legends. Trivia games will be played, CDs will reward the winners, and great music will go through the night.

The three-course dinner opens with the Double Platinum Champagne Cocktail, created by mixologist Kim Haasarud, author of 101 Champagne Cocktails. This original creation is followed by Mick Fleetwood Private Cellar Riesling and Doobie Red, made by Doobie Brothers manager and winemaker B.R. Cohn. Each is perfectly paired with Executive Chef Russell Skall's rockin' menu.

Rock star and winemaker, Mick Fleetwood partners with different wineries and winemakers to create varietals he personally likes to drink and share with friends. For the Riesling featured in the Vintage Rock Wine Dinner, Fleetwood partnered with Firestone Vineyard - using grapes from the cool, Riesling-friendly marine climate of Santa Barbara and Monterey Counties. With its bright, off-dry flavors of apricot, melon and honeysuckle, the slight sweetness of his 2005 Riesling balances its acidity, for a wine as accessible as a catchy tune.

"My signature wines are mellow and easy to drink," Fleetwood says. "Wine should always be fun, never challenging."

Mick Fleetwood Private Cellar began in 2001 with his single vintage 1998 Cuvee. The winery has since grown to include seventeen wines, and Fleetwood's Riesling recently garnered a "Best Wine" mention from the Wall Street Journal, as well as a bronze medal from the San Francisco Chronicle International Wine Competition.

Doobie Red, North Coast Collectors Series, was created by Bruce Cohn, who, in addition to having managed The Doobie Brothers for 35 years, is also owner of the acclaimed B.R. Cohn Winery Sonoma Valley. Cohn created Doobie Red in memory of Keith Knudsen, who had been the drummer for The Doobie Brothers from 1974 until his death in 2005 at the age of 56. The proceeds from Doobie Red benefit the National Veterans Foundation, an organization that was important to Keith, and close to the hearts of everyone involved with the band.

The Vintage Rock Wine dinner is $55 per person, not including tax and gratuity. This one night performance will take place on either Tuesday, March 10, or Friday, March 13, at 6:30pm.
