Thursday Night Dinner

This was the dinner last Thursday at Flavor Bistro. It's one of my favorite menus.


Gamberoni Con Couscous--Grilled Marinated Jumbo Prawns Served with Citrus-Herb Couscous & Warm Olive Salsa, paired with 2013 Sivas-Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc, Sonoma. This is a huge prawn, perfectly cooked and I just love the couscous with a hint of olives. The Sauv Blanc was just okay--not enough fruit flavor.
  

Spiedini Di Tortelli--Homemade Hat Shaped Pasta Filled with Vegetali-Ricotta Mousse, Spicy Sugo Di Pomodoro & Balsamic-Rosemary Brown Butter, paired with 2013 Bonny Doon Vineyard Grenache, Clos de Gilroy, Central Coast. The sugo is delicious! I sopped up all the sauce with the focaccia.



Agnello Alla Griglia--Grilled Lavender Lamb Garnished with Ragù of Fingerling Potatoes, Arugula, Oven Dried Tomatoes & Sweet Corn Served in Zinfandel Reduction Sauce, paired with 2012 Turley Wine Cellars Old Vines Zinfandel. The lamb is full of flavor and perfectly grilled.


Dolci Assortiti--Point Reyes Blue Cheese & Candied Walnuts with Petite Chocolate Tarts Topped with Chocolate Mousse, paired with 2009 Easton Wines Zinfandel Obscura "Very Late Harvest," Rinaldi Vineyard Fiddletown, Amador. This was a first. Haven't had cheese & 
dessert. It was a bonus course. Loved the creamy blue with the sweet walnut and the deep chocolate tart. Delicious!
