Southern Hemisphere Wine Tastings paired with Five expertly designed dished by our Executive Chef!

COURSE 1:

Yalumba “Y Series” Viognier 2021- South Australia - Despite being Yalumba’s entrylevel Viognier, this is one of its most delicious white offerings. Highly aromatic, it wafts a perfume of honeysuckle, orchard blossom and fuzzy peach skin. The palate is more viscous than the nose implies, but there’s enough acidity to keep it fresh. Peach and lemon flavors linger on the finish.

Paired With Sea Scallops *& Creamy Spinach Risotto

COURSE 2:

Lapostolle “Cuvee Alexandre” Chardonnay 2019- Casablanca Valley, Chile - A minerally chardonnay with dried apples, pears and hints of vanilla. It’s medium-to full-bodied with salted caramel and a complex finish.

Paired With Chilean Sea Bass

COURSE 3:

Villa Maria Rose 2020- Hawkes Bay, New Zealand - This Rosé has a lovely salmon pink color and displays bright floral aromas with flavors of strawberry, red fruits and spice, leading to a generous mouthfeel with a deliciously dry finish. This wine is best served chilled and enjoyed on warm summer days with fresh alfresco fare. Particularly perfect with smoked salmon and seafood.

Paired With Fall Beet Salad

COURSE 4:

Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir 2021- Walker Bay, South Africa - The Pinot Noir is not overtly fruity, but soft and "sweet" and it generally shows hints of that alluring savory "primal" character along with a dark, spicy, complex primary fruit perfume.

Paired With Pork Chops in Creamy Mushroom Sauce

COURSE 5:

Catena “San Carlos” Cabernet Franc 2019- Mendoza, Argentina - The incredible 2019 Appellation San Carlos Cabernet Franc is super elegant, fresh, varietal, nuanced and complex. A wine like this often costs more money than the price point of the appellations range, but it feels like a bargain anyway. This is an updated version of the 2018, with precision and symmetry. It's vibrant and lively, velvety and focused.

Paired With Filet Mignon Medallions & Asparagus

ALL SAMPLED WINE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
