Beer Hopes to Prevail Again In Rancho Bernardo Inn's Beer v. Wine Rematch

There are the classic battles: Chevy vs. Ford, Mac vs. PC, Girls vs. Boys, Red Sox vs. Yankees, Good vs. Evil...

And one of these will finally get settled. Friday, Rancho Bernardo Inn's El Bizcocho restuarant is serving up a Beer vs. Wine Dinner for you to decide. In a rematch of last year's battle, wines selected by Sommelier Barry Wiss and beers chosen by Stone Brewing Company's CEO Greg Koch will battle head to head. Competition is fierce:

Make no mistake, on October 17 the gloves will come off once again. Last year's winner, Koch says, "I have no hesitation in arguing that beer will once again prevail, since more often than not it is a superior mate to great food," while Wiss says, "Nothing compares to the pairing of a wonderfully crafted wine with fine food, and we will raise the bar even higher this year to ensure we come out on top."

In each course of this six-course decadent menu, guests will receive a paired beer and a paired wine. If you've ever wished you could grade your dinner, this is your chance. At the end of each course, guests will complete a scorecard rating which matched better: the wine or the beer. A winner will be announced at the end of the meal.

It's gonna cost you $125 per person (plus taxes and gratuity) and after all that friendly, boozy competition, you'll probably want to stay the night. They're offering a special "Beer vs. Wine" room rate of $179 for reservations booked for the night of October 17. Please call 800.770.7329 or visit www.ranchobernardoinn.com to make reservations.
