Your Choice of Escargots or Herbs and Garlic Mussels

A flavor bomb on a half shell! Served in a shell for the Escargots or a half-shell for the mussels, they are coated with a melted garlic-butter sauce flavored with parsley, chives and fresh dill.

Pouilly-Fuissé 2007, Louis Jadot

Coq au Vin with Egg Noodles

Coq au Vin is a French fricassée of rooster cooked with wine, lardons and mushrooms. The preparation of this dish is similar to Boeuf Bourguignon and fares very well when cooked with wine from the Beaujolais region.

Morgon 2005, Louis Jadot

Spiced Pear Mousse with Beaujolais and Vanilla Poached Pear and Almond Biscotti

Bosc pear is poached in a lovely combination of Beaujolais red wine, vanilla and spices; it lays as a wonderful garnish on top of a spiced pear mousse with a trickle of the poaching syrup.
