It was a small group--just 4 of us. The other couple was Tammy & John from San Diego. They had read about Flavor online and thought it would be similar to the Wine Vault in San Diego. We'll have to try it the next time we're in San Diego.
Torte a la Provençal--Organic Warm Tomato & Zucchini Tartlet Flavored with Sweet Herbs & Comté Cheese, paired with 2013 Quivira Vineyards & Winery Sauvignon Blanc, Dry Creek Valley
Aile De Raie Meunière--Sautéed Skate Served in Brown Butter & Lemon, paired with 2012 Calera Wine Company Chardonnay, Central Coast
Cassoulet--Petite Cassoulet of Duck Confit, Homemade Garlic Sausage, Bacon, White Beans & Garlic-Thyme Jus, paired with 2011 Louis Jadot Vosne-Romanée A.O.C., Burgundy, France, 2011 Evening Land Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir, Seven Springs Vineyard, Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon and 2012 Aresa Pinot Noir, Carneros, Napa. The Evening Land and Aresa were drinkable Pinots but the Jadot, despite a very earthy fragrance, paired best with the cassoulet.
