To start we will be pouring all 4 bottles from the lineup of our family friends, Champagne RC Lemaire. Sélect Réserve (100% pinot meunier), Rosé Saignée (Brut),
Cuvée Trianon 1er Cru Brut (PN, chard) and 2008 Les Hautes Prières Blanc de Blancs.
For the rest of the wines, please bring something along to share. Of course Barolo/Barbaresco would be the preference but as always with the Peninsula group just bring what you think everybody will enjoy.
Menu:
Sfogliata di Baccalà
Polenta con crema di parmigiano
Tajerin (28 egg yolks)
Carne all’ Albese (tartare)
Cheeses
Bunet
Café (caf/decaf) and selection of grappas
Last call for interest in seats. We will do the drawing either tonight or tomorrow and post up the names by Friday. Right now we have a list of 9 for the 6 places.
You are welcome to bring your own glasses if you want, but we have tons of INAO glasses and others, along with a few decanters. Looking foward to an evening of good wine, food and great company. Bring your appetites!
Talked to the truffle guy tonight and hopefully we will try to keep it to $100 per head. See you on Sat.
