Hello everyone. I believe we will need some great wine for the festivities. I think a 1997 Borola and Bertani Amarome will do. Lets also have a 2003 bordeaux, I do like Chateau Margaux and Chateau Haut-Brion. Perhaps a Petrus too. For White wines I think we should have a nice crisp Pouilly Fusisse and Montrachet 2007. I also like the Gavi di Gavi from italy . A great red burgundy(Echezeaux Grand Cru) and some champage-lots of it. I like Bollinger and Roeder
I will prepare athree mushroom Risotto (potabello, shitake and regular musshrooms) with sausage and olive oil I just brought back from Sicily-from my mother's olive trees. I will also prepare lobster ravioli prepared in white wine and pink cream sauce with shallots mushrooms and a touch of red crushed pepper. We do need a meat dish to go with the reds. Any suggestions.? perhaps a roast leg of lamb or osso buco ina a balsamic sauce (just had it in Rome-awsome)For an anti-pasta - Fresh provolone that I purchased at the factory and also brought back; home cured olives from sicily and home made sun dried tomatoes (stuffed with garlic, pepper and parsley).
I will assume this is black tie_- looking foward to meeting everyone- Bon appetite
Excellent suggestion Mazza on the venison and wild boar! The wild boar will go well with the Barola and the venison will go perfectly with the Burgundy. we will splurge too-only a grand cru. Perhaps the venison could be made grilled and topped with a balsamic mustard sauce(-easy on the balsa))mic so as not to interfere with the wine)? what do you think. Will anyone be bringing dessert? Perhaps Tiramisu? Creme Brulee?
Thank you Curlygirl. I hope work doesnt keep me late. And the damn Ferrari is in the shop again-may take the bentley
