Fess Parker Winemaker Dinner
An Evening of Wine Tasting and Food Pairing

October 21, 2009
6:15 pm Reception, 6:45 pm Dinner
 
Amuse Bouche Reception
Lollipop of Parmesan with Fig and Olive Tapenade
This golden, wafer thin parmesan crisp is embedded with a savory tapenade and hand-skewed with a bamboo stick.
 
Peking Duck Roll
Crisp vegetables mixed with seasoned, shredded, Oriental duck, combined with Hoisin sauce and wrapped in a delicate roll wrapper; a twist on the classic spring roll. 
Parker Station Chardonnay 2004, Santa Barbara County, CA
 
Four-Course Menu
Butternut Squash Soup with Star Anise and Ginger Shrimp
You will not believe that a soup that uses no cream would taste so, well, creamy and decadent. We pair it with crunchy shrimp marinated in ginger and sautéed in sesame oil.
Fess Parker "Ashley's Vineyard" Chardonnay 2006, Santa Rita Hills, CA
 
Risotto with Leeks, Shitake Mushrooms and Truffles
A great dish with the perfect combo of flavors for the fall season.
Fess Parker Pinot Noir 2007, Santa Barbara County, CA
 
Pan-Seared Sirloin with Melted Black Pepper-Garlic Napa Cabbage
We make a cabbage fondue, which we serve alongside the entrée. The cabbage cooked to melting softness, lends delicious flavor and texture to the dish itself.
Fess Parker Syrah 2006, Santa Barbara County, CA
 
Salt Crusted Pineapple with Fresh Orange and Vanilla Sauce
The sweetest, most flavorful pineapple you've ever tasted!  Rock salt seals in the juices while the slow-baking process releases millions of complex sugars to tantalize your taste buds.  Glazed with a fresh orange juice and vanilla sauce, this is a dessert that you won't soon forget.
