Wines of the Loire Valley

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

When Spring comes around, we get excited. Fava beans, sweet peas, morels, ramps, green almonds, asparagus and green garlic are all in their prime. We had the opportunity to do a wine dinner this past weekend centered around the wines of the Loire Valley in the heart of France. Heavier on the white side, the wines consisted of Muscadet, Chenin Blanc, Vouvray and Sauvignon Blanc which are dominant varietals in the region. We were able to bring forth and prepare a lot of spectacular fish for this one. We both agreed that this was one of our best dinners yet. Our guests felt the same way. Check it out!

Our Latest Wine Dinner Menu

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

We were particularly excited about this Paso Robles Wine Dinner menu. Though we’re incredibly excited about the asparagus, morels, fava beans and peas that Spring will bring, we still have to be creative in our efforts to remain true to what winter stands for. We brought a variety of dishes to the table that not only complimented the wine, but also brought sincere excitement to the guests with some unique and uncommon flavors. Included in this menu are mung beans, azuki beans and one of my favorites, lobster roe pasta. According to one of our guests, this was our best effort yet. Cheers! Not to mention we scored some of the most beautiful lemon sole I’ve ever come across and prepared it in a manner that provoked another guest to say, “this is the best thing I’ve ever tasted in my life!” Click here to see the menu.
