1st Course
Baja Fish Taco
Pico de Gallo-Chipotle Cream
Wine-Jean Louis Blanc de Blanc Brut, France
“Bright and fruity on the nose, this wine exudes aromas typical of Chenin Blanc –apples, apricots and a hint of honey. The palate holds an explosion of fine bubbles followed by a smooth, fruity finish.
A blend of all white grapes from the Loire Valley, Charentes, and PACA region (Provence-Alps-Côte d'Azur): Chenin Blanc (40%), Ugni Blanc (20%) and various other grapes that change each year to ensure that our style remains consistent.”
2nd Course
Chicken Thighs Braised in Zinfandel with Olives
Penne Pasta
Wine-DeLoach Zinfandel, California
“This bright Zinfandel opens with aromas of baked plum, baking spice, white pepper and dusty earth on the nose. It is plump and zesty on the palate with licorice, black cherry and notes of black tea. Medium-bodied with round tannins, the finish is rich and intense.”
Entree
Roasted Lamb Chops with Cherry Sauce
Wine- Elizabeth Spencer Grenache, Mendocino County
“Dark in color, this Grenache delivers exotic and alluring aromas of fresh raspberries and orange peel. The wine is lively and light on the palate, with an acidity that refreshes and supports the fruit flavors from the front to the back. Black cherry, plum, and a subtle zestiness linger on the finish.”
Dessert
Peach Crisp
Whipped Cream
