RECEPTION
• Barron Point Oysters- Pineapple Mignonette- Pink Peppercorns- Spicy Basil
• “La Reina” Vineyard Chardonnay, 2007
o Subtly floral aromas of stone fruit, green apple and gravel are well integrated. Juicy flavors of buttery apple, pineapple, honey and hazelnut are ripe, yet taut, and show superb balance.

FIRST COURSE
• Grilled Octopus, Local Lychee, yogurt, Speck
• “Pelio” Vineyard Chardonnay, 2006
o Rich and vibrant with layers of white peach, pear and citrus flavors and aromas initially then followed by a hit of tropical fruits. It’s a concentrated wine yet retains a lively mouth-feel with a clean, cleansing aftertaste.

SECOND COURSE
• Grilled Quail / Hen of the Woods- Potato Fondant- Bing Cherry Puree
• “Paraiso” Vineyard Pinot Noir, 2006
o This is truly French Burgundy styled wine with vibrant layers of cherry, spice and roses that fill the aroma of the wine. The mouth is bright and balanced with cherries, raspberries and refined French oak. A nice spicy note and tons of ripe, delicate fruit finish the wine beautifully.
• “Pelio” Vineyard Pinot Noir, 2006
o A well-crafted middleweight style with plenty of charm. Spicy cherries, cola and a hint of fecundity in the nose. Flavors tend toward the earthy with dusted red and blue fruits and a deft touch of oak. A good acid spine backs up the pleasure.

THIRD COURSE
• Colorado Rack of Lamb- Nettles- Florida Gooseberries
• “Sycamore Flat” Vineyard Syrah, 2005
o This Syrah is more typical of the northern Rhone style of Syrah, it has a big nose with a blast of blackberry and boysenberry followed by dark coffee and subtle smoky toast notes. The mouth is very fresh and lively and the wine stays open through the finish showing pleasant tannins.

CHEESE COURSE
• Early Summer Sheep and Goat Cheese- house made preserves
• “Sycamore Flat” Vineyard Syrah, 2005
