Course Pairing / Description Wine
Hors D’oeuvres Crab Salad on Endive Prosciutto with Herbed Goat Cheese and Mostarda on Crostini
Varietal composition: 100% Chardonnay. The 2021 vintage bursts from the glass with bright aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white florals, with an undercurrent of flinty minerality that belies its cool climate origins along the Sonoma Coast. A beautiful tension midpalate elevates the notes of Asian pear and lime which mingle with a vibrant acidity, leading to a clean and refreshing finish.

Sourced from prime sites in Alexander Valley and Moon Mountain District, this garnet-colored cabernet sauvignon beautifully encapsulates the breadth of Sonoma County with aromas of forest fruits, dark chocolate shavings, and a hint of dried herbs.

Chip Wine
Varietal Composition: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. This inaugural release from the Coombsville appellation presents a deep ruby color with violet highlights and scents of wild blueberry, dried lavender, and mocha. A beautiful entry envelops the palate and features generous layers of red currant, black fig, and subtle notes of fresh sage and leather. Fresh acidity wraps around fine-grained tannins providing tension towards the finish, revealing a crushed rock minerality that confers the region’s inherent rocky soils.
