WINE & FOOD MENU

 

 

1-Course: Yaku, layered Soup Dumpling, Pacific White Shrimp & Kurabuta Pork
served with Dosnon Brut Selection Champagne
Wine Spectator 91 Rating
Lightly toasty, this well-knit Champagne layers the soft and creamy mousse with crunchy acidity, supporting flavors of golden raisin and baked plum fruit, honey and toasted almond. Lingers pleasantly on the refined finish. Drink now through 2020. 100 cases imported.

 

2-Course: Crudo, Bluefin Tuna Tacos with a tropical pico de gallo
served with Morgadio 2024 Albarino Rias Baixas Spain
James Suckling 91 Rating
Briny on the nose, with freshly cut grass and lime zest. The palate is medium to full-bodied, saline and incisive, driven by linear acidity. Drink now.

 

3-Course: Braised Beed Cheeks, Black tar demi glaze with salted thumb potatoes
served with La Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri 2016 Reserva Rioja Spain
Wine Spectator 93 Rating
There's a bright, buoyant feel to this fluid red. Its frame of mandarin orange peel acidity and chalky tannins is well-meshed with a dark and expressive core of macerated blackberry and black plum skin. Fragrant notes of leather, dried flowers, mountain herbs, licorice and paprika add depth to the fruit profile and linger on the finish. Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano. Drink now through 2040.
 

 

4-Course: Penne, with whipped fennel sausage and ricotta, San Marzano puree
served with La Fiorita 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Tuscany Italy
Wine Spectator 95 Rating
Strawberry, raspberry and cherry aromas and flavors are beautifully displayed in this charming version, with loam, tobacco and herbs adding detail while the aftertaste goes on and on. Shows balance and formidable length. Best from 2026 through 2042. 2,660 cases made, 1,250 cases imported.

 

Also served with Sottimano 2021 Barbaresco Basarin Piedmont Italy
Wine Spectator 94 Rating
This is pure and well-defined, featuring cherry, raspberry, earth, iron and wild herb flavors. Firms up with a line of dusty tannins, yet the fruit is persistent and this is balanced overall. Best from 2028 through 2046. 800 cases made, 270 cases imported.
