1st Course
Watermelon Steak with Warm Pickled Shrimp

Wine-Parducci Small Lot Chardonnay Mendocino

“This wine is fresh, fruity and uncomplicated, showing apple-skin aromas, ripe pear and apple flavors and touches of brown sugar on the finish. It is generous in flavor and soft in balance.”

2nd Course
Chicken and Red Pesto Pasta

Wine-Parducci True Grit Petite Sirah Mendocino

“This monumental wine is one for the ages—or at least for 15 years. A deep color is followed by gorgeous aromas of rose, dark chocolate and blackberry syrup. The mouth filling, ripe fruit flavors are concentrated, bolstered by thick, powerful tannins that give it a mouth-puckering astringency. The firmness sets this wine up for a long life.”

Entrée
Beer Braised Brisket with Smoky Salsa Roja

Wine-Parducci True Grit Cabernet Sauvignon Mendocino

“On the nose I picked up vanilla, blue fruits, cola, and cedar. The palate was full and rich with baking spice, black cherries, and a subtle hint of black pepper. There was a good balance in the body of sugar to alcohol while the oak tannins were prominent in this younger wine.”

Dessert
Frozen Margarita Pie
