Julie made these fabulous little Crab Ravioli, they were light and creamy and fresh. She actually let me make the Lemon Pesto sauce to go with them, ha. We burned the first round of toasted pinenuts but version 2.0 was perfect.
This dish paired soooooo perfectly with our Neil Ellis Chardonnay from South Africa.
This ended up being Katie's favorite dish. Fresh Sea Scallop & Grilled Corn Cakes served with an Apricot Ginger Cream. The funny thing was that when we pan seared them, the corn kernels started "popping" like crazy. Will definitely be making these again!
Another wonderful pairing - the Sur Luchtel Viognier , really picked up the apricot notes and played off the scallops beautifully.
I loved this dish and will absolutely keep tweaking it until it's just right. Prosciuto wrapped Tuscan Melon on Arugula dressed with a Roasted Garlic & Thyme Vinaigrette. Then we crumbled fresh Greek Feta over the top - so good!!
Just right with the Chateau Val Joanis Rose ( of syrah ) - the feta is superb with this wine.
Well this photo looks awful but the dish is our signature Braised Beef Short Ribs ( yay- they're back!!) served with a Red Wine & Apple Cider Reduction and Gorgonzola Whipped Potatoes. I'm so thrilled to be doing comfort food again , it just makes people really happy!
I put lots of fresh ground pepper in this to stand up to the Angus the Bull Cab from South Australia.
We have been going risotto crazy this week - this one included Black Olives, Manchego and Sausage, and it was delicious.
A lovely final wine - one of our favorties from Portugal - the last of our stash of Crasto Duaro.
A sweet fall inspired ending - Vanilla Poached Pears with Cinnamon Yogurt Cream and Homemade Salt Caramel, topped with crumbled Biscotti. LOVE!
