The Raphael Hotel's signature restaurant, Chaz Restaurant and Lounge, is proud to feature Blue Crab and Far Niente Chardonnay as part of the March Pours & Plates menu. Each month, Chaz highlights a new wine by the glass, chosen by Certified Sommelier, Jordan Carver, along with specially paired dishes created by Executive Chef David Spiven.The Blue Crab is so named because of its sapphire-tinted claws. Renowned for its delectably sweet flavor, crab meat from this species is a favorite of many and is particularly iconic in the Chesapeake Bay region. It offers a low-calorie seafood option and is an abundant source of protein, iron, vitamin B6, and other essential minerals.Far Niente Chardonnay is a blend of superlative Napa Valley vineyards located in Coombsville, a cool growing region nestled in the rolling countryside and protected by the hills east of the city of Napa. It is one of the rare Napa Valley Chardonnays that thrive with extended age, and blossom even more with time. Far Niente Chardonnay immediately enchants with a silky entry and vibrant flavors of citrus, melon, and toasted oak that expand across the mid palate to a mouthwatering finish. The Wine of the Month pairs perfectly with the sweet taste of Blue Crab. This exclusive menu is available Mar. 1-31. Make a reservation to try it here.
