Our Next Farmers Market Dinner
Will Be Held On Wednesday, September 17th, 2008
We stage these dinners every few months, using seasonal produce fresh from Farmers
Markets in the area. If you would like to receive announcements of future Farmers
Market Dinners, just send us an email requesting you be added to our mailing list.
We look forward to seeing you at the next one.

Wine pairings from our friends at Colorado Wine Company can be found in red below each dish.


The Menu

First Course
Heirloom Tomato, Moroccan Carrot and Toasted Bread Salad with
Avocado and Arugula

A dry, crisp white would pair really well with the tomatos and
arugula. Try our Ponte de Lima Vinho Verde ($9.99) Also for a weightier
white that would be great with this dish and the Veggie Curry entree,
our Condes de Albarei Albarino ($14.99) has a dense, lemony flavor that
would offset the spice of the curry and complement the basmati rice.

Second Course
Medjool Dates Wrapped in Pancetta and Stuffed with Blue Cheese

As always, we love a big but brut bubbly with something with rich,
savory and sweet components. Try our Parigot, an all-Chardonnay bubbly
with notes of almonds, yeast and a creamy yet dry finish. ($24.99 )
For a red option, try something richer to compete with all those flavors:
our Mill Creek Merlot at $20.99 is great: structured, velvety and
robust. Or a big California blend, such as our Prisoner for $31.99 or
the Fess Parker frontier red at $9.99 would work with this and some of
the other dishes.

Entree
Organic Summer Vegetable Curry with Organic Spiced Yogurt and
Chutney over Basmati Rice

I'd try a spicy white, like our dry CA gewurztraminer Claiborne
and Churchill, a favorite foodie white of ours for $17.99, or a zingy
Italian white like our Fattoria Laila Verdicchio at $12.99. A nice
red option is a lighter red like a Pinot, our O'Reilly's from Oregon
at $18.99 is great, or a German red, like the Klostor Pinot Noir, a
bit more tangy, at $8.99.

or
Smoked Paprika and Beer Braised Pork Stew with Chickpeas and
Gremolata<

Whether you choose red or white, it needs to be a bit more robust.
We suggest our Pago Florentino Tempranillo ($20.99 ), or our Porcupine
South African shiraz at $11.99 (dark and smoky) , or our new Alberti
154 Cabernet Sauvignon from Argentina at $9.99, a quick bestseller here.

If you'd like to pair a white with the stew, try our Schofitt Chasselas
from Alcace: its creamy touch of fruit and clean big finish will stand
up to the weight of this dish. It's a really interesting white and staff
favorite at $20.99. Or you could also have a big beer with this dinner:
try our Saison Dupont Brune at $10.99.

or
Lamb Tagine over Basmati Rice

Any of the options suggested for the Stew would also be great with the
Lamb. But our St. Damien Gigondas, a medium-weight, juicy blend from the
Rhone, is a classic pairing for this dish. ($27.99). You could also try
our Auzias red, another southern French red with a little more earthiness,
at $7.99. Also, try a California pinot noir like the Russian River Block
16 Hoffman Pinot Noir at $31.99/btl.
