Upcoming Wine Menu

So we have decided that we are going to host our next wine dinner in September and have begun the process of getting pairings done. I just put together my first draft of the menu and will be conducting a food and wine tasting on August 6th. Once I taste the wines, it will be much easier to match the flavor profiles of each dish. Here is what I have so far:

Appetizer

Haystack Mountain Goat Cheese Tart

Grilled Artichoke Hearts, Arnoud Olives, Roasted Sweet Pepper

Soup

Wild Mushroom Tea with Rocky Mountain Beef Carpaccio

Salad

Crab and Avocado Salad with Grapefruit Vinaigrette

Entree Duet

Hot Smoked Salmon with Citrus Fennel Salad

Mission Fig Stuffed Pork Loin with Molasses Creme Fraiche

Dessert

Frozen Blueberry Parfait with Danish Pancakes
