Blue Point & Kumamoto oysters with a bottle of 08 Veris Sauvignon Blanc

 

Course 2

 

Pan Seared Salmon with drunken chefs mix of mushrooms with a bottle of 05 Failla Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Dessert

 

Reduced aged balsalmic vinegar over sliced fresh strawberries and strauss family creamery vanilla ice cream with a 99 Chateau St. Michelle Late Harvest Riesling

 

MMMM MMMMMM MMMMMM

Drew, you crack me up. I had the pleasure of sitting in front of you and behind kpak on the bus at some anniversary event, and I just knew the "foodie" contingent was in the house. Rock on!

 

Kpak, you may have solved my problem...

Hi Saut,

 

No we came up with the menu very last minute actually.  The oysters were a pain to shuck (especially since we figured out we didn't have a shucker; screwdriver...check) but worth the wait.
