Of the Earth

It's time for mushrooms, food fans.  The new fall menu is in place at UCG, and it's crawling with mushroom-centric dishes to get you thinking about fuzzy sweaters, ruby red wines and wavy mounds of risotto studded with pumpkin and earthy mushrooms.  If you haven't been to one of our wine dinners, here's one for your calendar.  Our 1st Annual Mushroom Dinner at Union City Grille.
