Porcini Mushroom Raviolo simply screams for a Pinot Noir. This stunning glass features a bouquet of rose, fig, and oak. The aromas on the nose give way to flavors of cherry and clove. A hint of oak rounds out the palate and provides smooth tannins. Aged in 100% French Oak.

third course

fourth course

2013 Gamble Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

This beautiful Cabernet features aromas of walnut, cedar, black cherry, blackberry, ripe fig and warm notes of nutmeg. The palate shows stunning flavors of blackberry, plum, and chocolate ganache. It is followed up by layers of coffee, molasses, and tobacco. Enjoy with the Tenderloin!

dessert course

2012 Fuleky ‘Pallas’, Late Harvest Tokaji, Tokaj, Hungary

This late harvest delight is perfect for accompanying your Candy Cap Pot De Creme. It starts with allowing the grapes to undergo exposure to the famous “Noble Rot”, Botrytis Cinerea. The fungus concentrates the sugar in the grapes and leaves behind a distinct honey flavor. The furmint varietal features a natural acidity making it great to be enjoyed with food.
