1st Course
Sautéed Shrimp with Smokey Grits and Cilantro Sauce

Wine-La Cayetana Criolla Blanca, Argentina
“Criolla Blanca is part of the ancient Criolla family, an unruly ‘bunch’ of varietals that came to be as a result of the wild frolickings of Criolla Chica and Muscat d’Alexandria in centuries past. It makes up 90% of this wine and comes from 20-year-old vines grown in the traditional Parral style in Lavalle, East Mendoza, fermented and aged in unlined concrete eggs. The remaining 10% is from Los Chacayes and is a mystifying blend of Viognier, Gewürztraminer and Semillon, which blended together is aged biologically under flor for two years.”

2nd Course
Roast Chicken with Red Chimichurri
Mashed Yucca

Wine-Zorzal Gran Terroir Pinot Noir, Argentina
“Notes of strawberry, cherry, mushroom, baking spices, and clove are lifted from the glass. This leads to powdered white sugar, vanilla, blackberry, and cinnamon notes on the palate with smooth tannins and medium acidity. A long finish persists with caramel red apple, tobacco, and cola qualities.”

Entrée
Carne Adovada
(New Mexico Style Pork with Red Chilies

Wine-Clos des Fous Cauquenina Vinas Viejas de Cauquenes, Chile
" This is a tremendous $20 value I must report. I never drink South American wines so I went for different. Blind, you would guess French. Malbec/carmenere/syrah/carignan/pais blend from Chile. Terroir focused producers. Silky roller coaster ride of flowers and spices, yet lush with dark fruit. Smoke, leather, eucalyptus, black pepper, minerals.... have to throw in fennel seeds like you’re drinking Iceland’s Brennivin. Super complex with a unique profile.”

Dessert
Tres Leches Cake
