I just wanted to give everyone an update on the Saviez Wine Dinner we have planned for Friday, February 8th at 7PM. William (who has been nice enough to set this whole thing up. thanks William!) and I tasted through the wines on Wednesday, and they were superb! Great styling throughout...Next, it was off to Connal (head chef at Les Zyg and weekly host of the cooking demo at our highly popular Tuesday Night Tasting Series) who put together an awesome FIVE course menu. Between the food and the wine, i think it's going to be a very special dinner. We've been wanting to do more of these dinners , and I think this is a great start. So without further ado, here's the menu:
Spicy Smoked Shrimp with 2006 Saviez,"French Kiss", Napa, U.S.A.
Seared Duck Breast over Mixed Greens w/ Red Wine Vinaigrette with 2003 Saviez,
Zinfandel, Napa, U.S.A.
Grilled Lamb Chop with Rosemary, Cherry, Dijon Sauce with 2004 Saviez, Cabernet
Sauvignon, First Avenue Vineyards, Napa, U.S.A.
Morbier with Black Pepper Honey with 2005 Saviez, Petite Sirah, Napa, U.S.A.
Pear, Apricot and Walnut Tart with 2006 Saviez, Muscat Canelli, Napa, U.S.A.
All this for 65$ (exclusive of tax and tip)
Space is limited, so call 617-542-5108 to reserve your seats.
Don't forget our Pre-Valentine's Day Bubble Bath featuring the Sparkling Wines of Westport Rivers with VERY special guest and winemaker, Bill Russell! More to come...
