Water is not just water. Enjoy a fine dining experience at Joe’s Restaurant and learn the difference between premium bottled waters and how to pair them with food.
At first glance, waters may not seem to have the individual characteristics like those that distinguish wines, but distinct differences become apparent when the attention is focused on water.
Like wine, water has terroir and it is a natural product that originates from a particular place with unique properties. That is of course if you drink premium bottled water. About 40% of the bottled water sold in the US is purified tap water. If it says ‘municipal source’ or ‘purified’ on the label it is simply local tap water processed using reverse osmosis. This is not what we refer to as premium bottled water.
There is nothing wrong with appropriately treated tap water and in some instances it can be filtered to taste quite good and be healthy for you. Tap water is for hydration and daily consumption while premium bottled water deserves a place at the table in an epicurean context. In other words, premium bottled water can enhance a fine dining experience.
Joe's restaurant in Venice is joining forces with FineWaters and Sweetwater LLC to bring an evening of food, wine and water pairing to Los Angeles. Six bottled waters will be tasted during a three course plus desert dinner that showcases how water can be matched with food and how different waters can enhance the dining experience.
By attending you will learn how to pair fine bottled water with particular foods.

Enjoying bottled water is not a new trend as many may presume. During the Roman Empire earthen jars filled with naturally carbonated water from Northern Germany (today’s Apollinaris) was transported to Rome at great expense and the 11 aqueducts streaming water into the city were rated according to the taste and quality of the water.
This unique tasting event provides the best introduction to the surprising richness of the taste experience of premium bottled water. By attending you will learn how to pair fine bottled water with particular foods. Make your reservation today!
