Beer vs. Wine? You Make The Call!


Majestic Wines and Schlafly Beer go head-to-head at the first-ever
“Beer vs. Wine” Dinner at the Sheraton Clayton Plaza Hotel



St. Louis, Mo., June 28, 2008…The Sheraton® Clayton Plaza Hotel St. Louis will be hosting their first-ever “Beer vs. Wine” Dinner on Wednesday, July 30, 2008 from 6:00 until 10:00 pm.

Sheraton Clayton Executive Chef Christian Gullet, along with Majestic Wines and Schlafly Beer, will be planning and executing a five-course gourmet dining experience that will feature specialty wines and beer strategically paired for each course, in a challenge for top honors – and where the guests are the ultimate culinary winners!

Guests will have the opportunity to sample each course and the companion wine and beer selections, and then will fill out a scorecard for that round; after all courses have been served, all scorecards will be tallied and the winning libation will be announced. Besides the opportunity to sample the various vintage wines and craft beers from Majestic Wines and Schlafly Beer, guests will have the opportunity to purchase their favorite choices after the dinner concludes.
Tickets for the inaugural “Beer vs. Wine” Dinner are $75.00, and include a welcome reception prior to the dinner, commentary by experts and full descriptions of the wines and beers served, and the five-course gourmet dinner. The evening will also feature a charitable raffle and silent auction. Prizes include a weekend 2-night stay from the Sheraton Clayton, a magnum of wine selected by Majestic Wines, and a Schlafly reserve pint with opener from Schlafly Beer. Proceeds from the “Beer vs. Wine” Dinner will benefit the Gateway Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Because the inaugural “Beer vs. Wine” dinner has been planned as an intimate gathering, space is limited and reservations are highly recommended – call the Sheraton Clayton at (314) 719-4318 to make your reservations for this exclusive dining experience.
