The Menu
Starter
Cream of Fresh Pea Soup topped with Pea Tendrils
like the Semillon in our Archambeau White Bordeaux for $10.99, or for a red pairing, try
a Spanish grenache without too much spice like our Coto de Hayas Campo de Borja
Garnacha for $14.99/btl.
Salad Course
Farmers Market Greens with Asparagus and Herb Lemon Dressing
no real gray area in between. We usually go with a crisp white with nice acidity and viscous
texture like a white Rioja. We recommend the Cune Monopole Rioja $14.99/btl.
Main Course
Moroccan Style Lamb Stew with Garbanzo Beans, Baby Carrots and Baby Turnips
the Rhone in France, so try the Elisabeth Chambellan Chateauneuf du Pape for $31.99/btl
or the Grand Nicolet Rasteau Red for $17.99/btl. If you want to do a contrasting pairing,
get something fruitier to balance out the Morrocan spices like the Casa Barranca Santa
Barbara Grenache for $24.99/btl.
or
White Bean, Sausage and Duck Cassoulet with Greens
In this case, southwest France is known for Cassoulet so try the Sarabande Roussillon Red for
$13.99/btl. Or, to buck that idea entirely, the Orcella Orsus Garnacha from Montsant, Spain
would be a pretty fantastic pairing as well for $11.99/btl. If white is more your speed, try our
Schmelz Gruner Veltliner for $17.99/btl. Gruner has a nice backbone of spice to hold up to
the duck and sausage. Or, for the white pairing from heaven, Cold Heaven Sanford/Benedict
Vineyard Viognier for $34.99/btl (pun intended).
or
Braised Beef Ribs over Creme Fraiche Mashed Potatoes
Sauvignon for $24.99/btl or Preston Dry Creek Zinfandel for $21.99. For a white, go with big
and rich as well like our Adelaida Glenrose White for $24.99/btl or the Talley Arroyo Grande
Valley Chardonnay for $25.99/btl.
or
Wild Mushroom Lasagna with White Sauce
is a can't miss most of the time. We'd recommend the Stephen Ross Central Coast Pinot Noir
for $19.99/btl or the Bertagna Bourgogne '05 for $25.99/btl. Or for a white option, try our
Domaine Bastide Roussanne for $10.99/btl.
