Paella Traditions at Cherry Point Vineyards
P
aella is a tradition of family, festivities, harmony, and celebration. Paella is an event that takes place on Sundays or in holidays. Families get together and plan their Paella days in advance. Paella has a captain who will impart orders in the steps required to prepare it. Usually, it is the grandfather who gives the orders and instructs each participant as to what and where to obtain each of the ingredients. The Captain will indicate exactly how to make the cuts and when to incorporate each element into the Paella. It is almost alchemy, where olive oil, garlic, colourful peppers and onions begin to blend before chorizo, chicken, pork and rabbit, if available, are added, producing a limitless sea of aromas in crescendo enhanced by the consumption of good Rioja wines. Eventually it begins to
take the right consistency and good Valencia rice is added. The night before, a stock has been brewing using cuttings from all vegetables and shells from the shellfish. Once the stock is ready, the saffron is added and steeps for a while releasing the beautiful saffron color, before adding it to the rice. By now the entire house is full of aromas, aromas that fly in the neighbourhood. Everybody knows paella is in the making and they know they are welcome to join. Cherry Point Estate Wines opens its doors on August 28th and 29th for complimentary paella and sangria, between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm. We believe in the Cowichan Valley and this event enhances the experience. Friends, neighbors, supporters, and admirers of the Cowichan Valley are invited to partake in the event. This will be our eleventh year offering the paella. Open House. Come with family and friends. No reservations required.
