<\/a><\/p>\n To kick off summer in style, Fleming’s Steakhouse<\/strong><\/a> has launched their delicious Wine Country Brunch and brought back the popular\u00a0Small Plates, Big Pours<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0for six weeks.\u00a0Small Plates, Big Pours<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is the perfect combination of one of Fleming’s delicious seafood or meat entrees (choose from 7) in a portion that’s larger than an appetizer, but smaller than an entree, paired with a “big pour”, the equivalent of a glass and a half of wine, for $24.95. But, hurry it’s been going on since May 15th and ends on June 30th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Guests can select any of the seven\u00a0creative Small Plates including the\u00a0New Zealand Petite Lamb Chops, Fleming\u2019s Lobster Tempura, Colossal Shrimp Skewers, New Bedford Scallops, Sliced Filet Mignon, Braised Short Ribs<\/i>, or\u00a0Ahi Tuna<\/i>\u00a0matched with one of their seven premium Big Pours, each carefully selected by Director of Wine, Maeve Pesquera, to guarantee the perfect pairings.<\/p>\n The following pairings are recommended, but guests may mix and match as they wish:<\/p>\n Fleming’s Small Plates are only available at the bar and are great for sharing and perfect for wine and food lovers looking for light, upscale options.<\/p>\n Life is good when you can savor perfectly crisped slices of Pork Belly with creamy polenta and a vibrant cherry chutney while sipping Gloria Ferrer champagne in the sanctuary of an elegant wine studio.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Fleming’s newly remodeled and beautiful Wine Studio room. Each piece of art is a mosaic made up of 1 inch squares of recycled magazine pages and printed paper. {Photo credit: Austin Trask<\/a>}<\/p>\n The tender-crisp pork belly was served as a starter while we listened to Jose Jiminez, Managing Partner of Fleming’s, tell us about the exciting launch of their trademarked WinePad\u2122 – the first ever digital wine list that transforms how diners can select wine. \u00a0Are you in the mood for a Napa Valley Vacation? Of course you are! When you come to the restaurant be sure to enter for a chance to win Fleming’s Napa Valley Vacation for two while you’re playing with the WinePad\u2122.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Citrus and grassy characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc accentuate the richness of the NewBedford Seared Scallops and the citrus and green flavors of this dish.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Notes of vanilla in the Franciscan Chardonnay echo the rich, sweetness of Fleming’s Lobster Tempura while the acidity juxtaposes the tempura batter.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Oak aged wines pair well with grilled meats and these succulent Lamb Chops were divine with the spicy, herby notes of this particular Petite Sirah from Parducci.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The rich, meatiness of spice-rubbed Ahi Tuna pairs perfectly with Pinot Noir and the low tannins and fruitiness of Pinot balances the heat of the mustard sauce.<\/p>\n That’s only four of the seven fabulous small plates you can choose from – and it’s a tough choice, so I recommend going with several people, because sharing is more fun! The Crisp Pork Belly is not one of them, but it is available during Fleming’s “5 for $6 till 7<\/strong>“Bar Menu daily from 5:00-7:00 p.m. along with 5 premium cocktails and 5 specially selected wines by the glass, each for just $6.<\/p>\n With a prime location within Fashion Island, Fleming’s has it all! Including a Wine Country Brunch from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, but I’ll have to tell you about that in another post because it’s time to head out and celebrate the longest day of the year!<\/p>\n Cheers \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Fleming\u2019s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar<\/b><\/p>\n 455 Newport Center Dr (Fashion Island) Newport Beach<\/p>\n 949.720.9633<\/p>\n For more information, please visit Fleming\u2019s website\u00a0www.flemingssteakhouse.com<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
