I had the great pleasure of cooking last night for a pre-holiday dinner hosted by DS, a great friend and fellow foodie. A fabulous selection of wines were gathered by Sommelier KD, and DS and I developed the following marvelous menu for a party of six.
Pre-Dinner Cocktails: Persimmon Champagne Cocktails
First Course: Persimmon-Shrimp Salad paired with 2009 Chasing Venus Pinot Gris
Entree: Red Wine Braised Short Ribs over Parsnip Puree paired with 2007 Allegrini Palazzo della Torre
Dessert: Port Brownie S'mores paired with Taylor Fladgate 10-Year Tawny Port
Cheers and happy holidays!!
