Tonight's dinner was quite a treat.
Linguine Alle Vongole--Homemade Linguine, Fresh Manila Clams, Garlic, Parsley, White Wine and Extra Virgin Olive Oil paired with 2011 Salviano Orvieto Classico Superiore DOC, Umbria, Italy. This was my favorite course for the evening. The linguine was well made and cooked al dente and the vongole sauce was delicious.
Quaglia Arrosto--Pan Roasted Marinated Quail, Creamy Cheese Polenta and Garlic-Thyme Sugo Di Pomodoro paired with 2011 de Alto Amo Rioja (Tempranillo) DOC, Spain. The Tempranillo was delicious and at $10.99 a bottle, it was a bargain.
Bistecca Ai Ferri--Grilled Flat Iron Steak Garnished with Ragout of Organic Fingerling Potatoes, Confit of Onion, Pancetta and Sweet Peas & Carrots Served in a Barolo Wine Sauce paired with 2009 Starmont Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley. I was so excited about the dinner, I forgot to take a picture of the entrée.
Tiramisu--Espresso Lady Fingers Layered with Rum Flavored Mascarpone Cream Topped with Cocoa paired with 2011 Bonterra Vineyards Bartolucci Vineyard Muscat, Lake County (Organic)
