Chappellet Chardonnayis a great choice for an appetizer of pan-seared scallops with sautéed leeks and charred cherry tomatoes, drizzled with a spicy mango-lemon sauce. This wine is produced from Chardonnay grapes grown in the coolest region of the famous Napa Valley. The sweet aroma of fruit with a hint of lemon zest, combined with the nutty taste of oak and nutmeg, becomes the ideal white wine to pair with seafood, leading diners into the charming culinary world.
Patz & Hall Chardonnay DurrellPairing it with a creamy pumpkin soup is a fun next step. With the sweetness of pumpkin and the richness of crème fraîche combined with other special spices, this rich soup creates a strange stimulation for the taste buds when accompanied by a sip of Durrell white wine from the producer Patz & Hall. The light taste of the golden liquid and the characteristic aroma of Chardonnay contribute significantly to the impression of each spoonful of soup melting in the mouth.
Patz & Hall Pinot NoirandFF Coppola Director's Cut Zinfandelare two red wines chosen for the two main courses. The Pinot Noir from Patz & Hall, famous for its strong yet deep flavor, unexpectedly became a perfect companion to the lobster pasta and saffron mussels. While still amazed by that discovery, diners continued to be overwhelmed by the unique "script" of the red wine from FF Coppola's Director's Cut, served next to the grilled beef tenderloin with mushroom satay sauce and mashed spinach cake with potatoes.
Chapellet Mountain Cuveeis a sweet farewell with the delicate aftertaste of mocha and roasted coffee beans. The dessert of warm chocolate cake, coffee ice cream and ripe strawberries, is gone in no time while diners linger to sip every last drop of red wine of Chapellet.
