Mirror Lake Inn to Host Adirondack Festival of Food & Wine This April

Chefs and sommeliers offer new take on taste in 2012

Lake
Placid, N.Y. (February 14, 2012)- The Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa will
host the seventh-annual Adirondack Festival of Food & Wine from Thursday, April
19 to Sunday, April 22.

Guest chefs will fuse international delicacies with locally-grown
Adirondack meats and cheeses, all with a touch of Four-Diamond class. This year's Food
& Wine Festival features the theme "The Culinary Melting Pot of Taste," which captures how
the five elements of taste influence the way people eat and drink.

The popular four-day event will feature wine tastings, culinary demonstrations, a
cooking competition and various special seminars. The Lake
Placid Food & Wine package for festival-goers includes three nights of
accommodation and a full festival pass for all event tastings and dinners.

The festival's menus and events are
designed to reflect the five elements of taste: salty, sour, sweet, bitter and umami, which is an
earthy, savory taste. The Inn's culinary team led by Executive Chef, Jarrad
Lang, will prepare a seven-course dinner based upon these different flavors.
The meal will be paired with the Inn's world-class wines, each presented by a guest
sommelier. 

This year's Adirondack
Festival of Food & Wine itinerary includes:

• Opening reception featuring a wine bar and guest mixologists


• Cooking demonstrations, wine seminars and tastings


• Grand Tasting Reception of world-class wines


• Ready-Set-Cook! Competition that pits the Inn's culinary team
  against the talents of guest chefs.


• Seven-course dinner paired with wines prepared by guest chefs and
  the Inn's culinary team.


• Farewell jazz brunch and wine tasting featuring live music.

The chefs will be combining Adirondack locavore cuisine with
international experience they've gained at world-class institutions such as the
New England Culinary Institute, Culinary Institute of America and the Research
Chefs Association. A master sommelier, brew master, gardener, baker and chef
will all be presenting.
