Course 1
Wild Mushroom Soup with Crostini
A blend of wild mushrooms, cream and onions, drizzled with olive oil and a garlic bread crostini garnish
WINE PAIRING: Riondo Prosecco
Course 2
Shrimp Salad with Roasted Beets
Spinach, roasted beets, tomatoes, red onion and bacon with romano and parmesan cheese, tossed in gorgonzola vinaigrette. Topped with wood-grilled shrimp, and crumbled gorgonzola
WINE PAIRING: Blank Stare Sauvignon Blanc

Course 3

Penne pasta in a garlic rosemary cream sauce with sautéed mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes
WINE PAIRING: Abstract Red Blend
Abstract reflects Dave Phinney’s creative spirit and dedication to quality in this Grenache based blend with Syrah, and Petite Sirah. The creamy sauce and savory rosemary bring out the lush blackberry, plum, and cocoa notes in the blend

Filet & Lobster Béarnaise
Wood-grilled 8oz filet with Mr. C’s Grille Baste, olive oil and herbs topped with lobster meat and a creamy tarragon Béarnaise sauce. Served with a twice-baked parmesan potato and grilled asparagus
WINE PAIRING: Advice From John Merlot
Inspired by a creative storytelling project by the founder’s long-time executive assistant, Samantha Smith, who spent years collecting real, anonymous messages left on the walls of public restrooms across the U.S. turned coffee table book. The filet’s rich, savory character and the earthy depth of the béarnaise sauce are elevated by the Merlot’s notes of black cherry, plum, and soft spice
Course 5
Blackberry Sangria Brûléed Cheesecake
Our New York-style cheesecake, brûléed and served over a blackberry sangria sauce with fresh strawberries and blackberries, garnished with an orange twist
WINE PAIRING: 8 Years in the Desert Red Blend
Dave Phinney was unable to make Zinfandel wines for eight years, which led to an opportunity to explore the diverse varietals of California upon the end of the ban, crafting this Zinfandel blend which launched Orin Swift wines. The wine is a blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Grenache, with notes of blackberry, fig, and warm spice, amplifies the dark fruit topping
