MENU
First Course – Champagne
Champagne Moutard Brut Grand Cuvee Non-Vintage Sparkling Wine from Champagne, France
+
Smoke Salmon Mousse Lemon Blini
A buckwheat lemon infused blini topped with a light smoked salmon mousse topped with Asian marinated cucumber sticks, sour cream and potato chip crunch. All elements of citrus, salty, tangy, and smoked fish pair exceptionally with a classic champagne.
Second Course- Pinot Grigio
Santa Cristina Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie IGT
+
Mexi Street Corn Salad
Buttery roasted corn in a creamy spiced sauce topped with cilantro, tomato and queso fresco. This provides a hint of heat to transition the palate and compliment the wine’s fruity and delicate aromas of pineapple, green apples, and lemon peel.
Third Course Sauvignon Blanc
Pallisar Estate Sauvignon Blanc
+
Caramelized Onion & Fig Jam Tarte
A sweet, savory experience of caramelized onions layered with the tangy goat cheese and sweet fig jam. A favorite flavor combo with sweet to buttery whites such as Sauvignon Blanc. While delicious, the flavor profile is mild and easy to transition between white to red wines.
Fourth Course – Red Blend
Airfield estates 2016 Bombshell Red Blend
+
Mini Chicken Meatballs with BBQ Sauce
As we head into red wine with greater depth, we move into meatier foods with heavier sauces. Hearty little chicken meatballs baked in a tangy bbq sauce with hints of cinnamon and clove. This dish is designed to bring out the undertones of this bold red wine.
Fifth Course – Syrah
Alexandria Nicole Cellars 2015 “JET BLACK” Syrah
+
Pork Tenderloin Sliders
A mini sandwich layering herb roasted pork tenderloin, bacon onion jam, mustard and peppery arugula. This has a hearty, savory bite that marries with this Syrah, brimming with flavors of blackberry, dark red fruits and black olive.
Sixth Course – Red Blend
Dona Paula Estate Black Edition Red Blend 2015
+
Chocolate Torte with Coffee Whip
Deep, truffle richness to match the depth of this black-violet wine. Straightforward chocolate flavors to let the subtle notes of the wine (plum, spice, even mint) to play front center. Topped with coffee whip cream and toasted walnuts.
