Partake by KJ

Partake by KJ is Kendall Jackson's Tasting Room and Restaurant, located at 241 Healdsburg Avenue in Healdsburg.

For Restaurant Week, they offered a 5-course tasting menu From the Garden for $29 and a Chef's Tasting for $39. Wine pairing was $15.

The amuse bouche was served with a mystery wine, served in a dark glass. It turned out to be a rose of Grenache & Pinot Noir.



Amuse Bouche of sunchoke.

From the Garden:



Roasted Beet Salad, Red and Gold Beets, Pickled Kohlrabi, Ice Lettuce, paired with Jackson Estate Camelot Highlands Chardonnay, 2012




Winter Squash Soup, Persimmon, Estate Walnuts, Crème Fraiche, Chervil, paired with Vintner's Reserve Riesling, Monterey, 2013

Estate Grilled Broccoli, Organic Egg, Sumac, Garlic Chips, Toasted Almonds, paired with Grand Reserve Pinot Noir, 2013. This was my favorite from the garden item. I loved the soft poached egg with flavorful broccoli.

Potato Gnocchi, Velvet Pioppini Mushrooms, Red Wine Poached Purple Onions, Tuscan Kale, paired with Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, 2012. I liked the mushroom sauce but the gnocchi was too soft.
