2010 Winemaker’s Dinner
This summer, do something extra-special for your sweetheart (and yourself) and bring him or her to Chateau Morrisette’s annual Winemaker’s Dinner. Chef Vance has worked closely with our winemaker Rick Hall to create a delectable five-course meal that pairs perfectly with some of our most beloved wines.
The festivities start at 6:30pm with an elegant reception, complete with hors d’oeuvres–blackened catfish en croute with green tomato salsa, pimento cheese brioche sliders, and chipotle pork confit tartlets—and our signature “winetails”—Very Berry Punch and Viognier Sunrise.
After these delicious refreshments, you’ll be shown to your table, where you will be served another four amazing courses, each with their accompanying wine. You’ll start off with a black-eyed pea lump crab pancake with heirloom tomato, arugula and champagne vinaigrette. That will be paired with our 2008 Vidal Blanc.
Before the main entrees, you will enjoy the surprising sweet potato and black strap molasses gelato served in a pretzel cup.
Next will come the first of our two entrees: blackened tuna, lobster grits, and fried collard greens with an apple wood-smoked bacon vinaigrette. This mouth-watering course will be served with our 2008 Chambourcin.
Then, your taste buds will delight in BBQ-seared Black Angus tenderloin, million dollar black truffle-Stilton macaroni, foie gras gravy, and fresh haricot verts. Paired with our 2008 Petit Verdot, this course is sure to please.
As if in answer to your question of how things could get any better, you’ll finally be served dessert, a Kentucky bluegrass tart, maple bourbon ice cream, and cinnamon crème fraiche paired with our delicious dessert wine, the 2008 Frosty Dog.
The 2010 Winemaker’s Dinner will be held Friday, August 6th at 6:30pm. Tickets are $75 per person. Reservations and pre-payment required. Please call 540-593-2865 or check our website for more information: www.thedogs.com.
I am really bummed I missed out on this! Hopefully I can make it next year!
