Manhattan Catering LLC to Produce TV Show Promoting Local Wines

Manhattan Catering LLC is producing “Catch the Spirit”, a television show that will promote the use of indigenous wines in gourmet cooking. The project is the brainchild of four-star chef Cody James, the Executive Chef of Manhattan Catering LLC. The show will center on how Chef Cody can incorporate the unique flavors of local wines into his cooking to come up with innovative versions of his recipes.

“Catch the Spirit” will have a serial format, with each series divided into episodes featuring certain wines native to the state and are available only from the state's local wineries. Manhattan Catering LLC, now based in the San Diego area in California , will launch the project with the “CATCH THE SPIRIT: COOKING WITH CALIFORNIA WINES” series.

Chef Cody James believes that the unique qualities of local wines offer new and exciting culinary possibilities and that by bringing them to the viewing public's attention, the small wineries can compete a little better in a market dominated by the more popular commercial brands.
