Mmm...I can't wait to hear the reviews!

[gilana]

Sounds amazing! How was it? Any standouts?

[lillibet]

The cucumber-dill sorbet was really good--I had a version of it at Journeyman that we agreed was too sweet, so fixing that was a goal and I think I really hit it. Very refreshing

[rmd]

yow. there's some tasty right there.

Drool!

If you give me some warning the next time you're headed this way, I'd be happy to whip you up six courses or so :) Not that you're not worth fourteen, but it would take more serious scheduling talk.

[muffyjo]

What wines did you pair these with?

[lillibet]

I don't have all the information recorded, but here are the types: prosecco with the sorbet and crostini, sauvignon blanc with the parsnip soup, grenache rose with the tartare, Hob Nob pinot noir (I know that one) with the onion soup and bread pudding, riesling with the duck eggs and haddock, chardonnay with the rabbit, shiraz with the goat stew, then sauternes with the cheese and pots de creme, and port with the gingerbread.
