Present were Phil Palley & Kadah Stackhouse, John & Philis Corrigan and Karim & Alinda Iman. The evening started with Phil's famous Cosmopolitan Martinis, these drinks were quiet smooth and delicious. After some conversations with friends and some lovely appetizers including a fabulus smoked salmon and St. Andre cheese, Phil and I fired up the grill for preparing the main course; Salmon Fillet. Phil uses the Weber Performer charcoal grill, which is compact and complete.
Salad Course-
Spring Greens with a light vinaigrette dressing and grated Parmesan cheese.
The salad was refreshing with not so overwhelming dressing and the Parmesan reggiano quality grated cheeses was a great addition.
Main Course-
Atlantic Salmon with Asparagus and roasted Potatoes-
1990 Puligny Montrachet Les Folatieres Domaine Henry Clerc et Fils
The Salmon was grilled to perfection, with smoke flavors and a hint of rosemary, the asparagus was prepared just right along with the potatoes. The 1990 white Burgundy from Henry Clerc et Fils had a beautiful dark clear golden yellow color. The nose had a hint of roasted vanilla, the second nose has honey suckles and anise spice, on the palate, this wine is full body and has a long long finish. It is amazing that after 21 years in the bottle, this wine drinks so beautifully. The marriage with the smokey flavors of the salmon and potatoes was fabulous.
Desert Course-
Chocolate Lava Cake with freshly whipped cream-
This chocolate lava cake recipe was light and delightful which went very well with Phil's not highly whipped cream. The marriage of wine with this dessert was very good as the the sweetness of the wine did not get over powered by the chocolate.
2009 Quady Essensia Orange Muscat- This wine is made from 100% Orange Muscat, the color was light golden yellow, the first nose of Orange Blossom the second nose Apricot, on the palate, this wine was sweet with a long finish and very refreshing.
Coffee- Special Roast de Philippe!
