Menu & Wine Pairings

Baked Brie and Pear with Almond J Bookwalter Notebook Riesling 2012
 J Bookwalter Notebook Riesling 2012
J Bookwalter 2012 Columbia Valley Riesling offers trademark intense aromas of ripe apricots, tangerines, peaches, star fruit, caramelized lemons wrapped in a floral arrangement of honeysuckle and orange blossoms. The flavors are equally as bright with ripe and dried apricots, Bartlett pears, anise, lemons, grapefruits and tangerines. The wine is fresh and vivid, exhibits a dash of minerality and finishes with a perfect balance of natural sweetness and acidity
Cheesy Nutty Pub Salad Pine and Post Chardonnay 2012
 Pine and Post Chardonnay  2012
A lively nose with aromatics of citrus zest, stone fruit and almonds. The straight forward and clean palate introduces notes of tangerine, green apple and vanilla. The creamy finish extends the fruit flavors with a hint of light oak.
Crispy Cider Brined Pork Belly Hedges Family Estate CMS White 2012
 Hedges Family Estate CMS White  2012
A blended white wine with Sauvignon Blanc dominating over 75% of the wine, this was one of the original malic-acid friendly white wines released from Washington State. Rounding out the blend is a touch of chardonnay accompanied by just a pinch of Marsanne. Beautifully structured with wonderful Sauvignon Blanc fruit character, the mouth feel has a delicate balance of acid angularity and defined herbal sophistication
Grilled Black Angus Beef Flatiron Steak Hedges Family Estate Red Mountain 2011
 Hedges Family Estate Red Mountain  2011
Flagship wine of the estate, the HFE Red Mountain consistently displays dense color, firm tannins, and well-defined acidity. Always a majority blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine is suitable for drinking upon release, but will reward those with the patience to age it. This wine represents all vineyard blocks farmed within the Hedges Family Estate vineyard portfolio. A true chateau-production bottling, the HFE Red Mountain is the epitome of classic style, and one that represents the Terroir of the Red Mountain AVA in a pure and elegant form
Dark Chocolate Enrobed Pound Cake Napoleon Hedges Family Estate CMS Red Blend 2011
 Hedges Family Estate CMS Red Blend  2011
CMS Red, Washington State's original blended red wine, has been produced and bottled by the estate since 1987. Consistently recognized as one of the best values in Washington State, CMS Red combines elegance and historic blending practices with top quality vineyard sources in the Columbia Valley. A style consistent with classic northern latitude wine growing, the CMS Red is known for a more Columbia Valley AVA regionally driven style, giving way to purity and structure over modernity
