Galena Cellars and Vineyard hosted their second annual Paella Party Saturday, Aug. 26 at their vineyard location. Attendees feasted on Chef Fernando Escalante’s paella, a seafood and rice dish, and assortment of recently released Galena Cellars wine. Originally from the Valencian Community in Spain, paella is one of the best-known dishes in Spanish cuisine. The dish takes its name from the wide, shallow traditional pan used to cook the dish on an open fire, paella being the word for a frying pan in Valencian/Catalan language. According to Chef Fernando, he used over 50 pounds of seafood including mahi-mahi, shrimp, squid, octopus, scallops and mussels, 30 pounds of rice and saffron seasoning. Jennifer Moore of Sheffield awaits her serving of the unique Spanish dish. Jennifer and her husband Matthew stated, “we’ve been coming to Galena for 20 years and really enjoy the events at the Vineyard.” Next year’s paella party will be held on the last Saturday in August at the Vineyard.
