Oysters Rockefeller/Spinach Au Gratin
Varietal composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc This delightful wine opens with an enchanting bouquet of elderflower and white peach, floral notes of orange blossom, and fresh citrus aromas. The underlying essence of salinity and minerality are reminiscent of ocean breezes which adds a distinct layer of complexity. As the wine unfolds on the palate, it offers a blend of vanilla and citrus. The ethereal lightness of pavlova mixed with pineapple and fresh kiwi provides a delicate balance to the overall structure. Floral flavors dominate with a very strong creamy texture that carries through the mid-palate. The finish leaves a lingering impression of ripe and fresh acidity. |

Petite Charcuterie & Cheese Boards
Varietal composition: 100% Chardonnay On the nose, you smell honeycomb and apricot with a slight hint of warm spices. The color is bright, clear and golden with legs that gently slide down the sides. The taste is a treat of Meyer lemon and vanilla with a touch of Crème Brulee. It’s fresh, smooth and delicate. The complex flavors of the old vines make this wine an old soul. The finish lingers just long enough. |

Wild Mushroom Duxelle Turnover/Gorgonzola/Puff Pastry
Varietal composition: 100% Pinot Noir Maxem is a single vineyard Pinot Noir from the celebrated Ulises Valdez Vineyard using the historical Calera clone. Energetic aromas of pomegranate; wild blueberries; rhubarb; bergamot; blood orange and Earl Gray tea lead into a tension-filled palate of crunchy red berries; wet stone; river rock and dried purple flowers delivering a liquid wonderland for the senses. Harnessed by the cool climate of the terroir; the fruit’s natural acidity sits on the finish for what seems like days; all wrapped in a luscious texture that defies logic and will have your palate swooning with delight. |
