FOURTH COURSE

Bouche d’Or

The Bouche d’Or displays a lush nose of apricots, honeycomb and marzipan that greets the senses and opens to succulent stone fruit and white flower aromatics. While Bouche d’Or may be sweet, it is balanced with bright acidity and crispness. This wine can stand on its own as a dessert wine and also makes a great accompaniment to a cheese course. Hard, salty cheeses like Manchego and aged Gouda pair quite successfully. Less-sweet desserts like lemon meringue tart, grilled peaches or apple galette are also excellent choices. The lush vibrant palate is incredibly versatile and hypnotizing.

Lavender Lemonade

South African Sauvignon Blanc

A new world style of Sauvignon Blanc. The wine has intense aromas of gooseberries, tropical fruit and sweet-grapefruit with a core of minerality. The excellent natural acidity creates balance to the concentrated, rich mouth-filling texture. Post fermentation lees contact of 4 months, stirred up once a week to enhance mouthfeel and concentration. The wine is bottled unfiltered and sediment may occur. This wine has too many awards to list and is not imported into the US.

SECOND COURSE

Elton Vineyard Pinot Noir

The bouquet opens with notes of mixed red and black fruits, earth and barrel spice. On the palate the wine expresses beautiful movement and dark fruit flavors of blackberry, currant and plum accented by minerality, cedar, anise and bergamot. The wine features a broad palate, velvety tannins, balancing acidity and lingering finish.
