To appreciate the value, it wouldn't be useful to consider the price alone. Each diner gets a beautifully illustrated "program" outlining the evening's fare. Ours read, A Menu for The Hunter's Table, Friday December 8, 2006 (1st course): Hunting at the Edge of the Sea. Cauliflower and Fenugreek Soup with Silvered Sea Scallop and Paddlefish Caviar. Kushi Oyster with Sunchokes. Rosemary Mussel Skewer. (wine pairing): 1999 Argyle Brut from Magnum (note, we were given a choice of various herbs to drop into the argyle brut to give it a special "nose", I selected the geranium rose. Wonderful combination) (2nd course): Slow Roasted Black Cod and Salsify. With Frothy Sea Urchin-Chervil Sauce. (wine pairing): 2004 Ponzi Vineyard Pinot Blanc, Aurora Vineyard (3rd course): Berkshire Pork Belly. With Vanilla Parsnips, Quince, and Saffron Cider Sauce (wine pairing): 2005 Chateau Ste. Michelle Reisling, Indian Wells (this relatively common wine was our favorite, as well as the favorite of some of our table mates) (4th course): Braised Bay-Scented Partridge. With Chnaterells, Delicata Squash, Chestnuts, and Brussel Sprouts. (wine pairing): 2004 L'Herb Sauvage Pinot Noir, Grapes of Wrath (5th course): Orgeon Fallow Venison. Herb-Crusted Saddle with Golden Beets and Fennel, Braised Shank on Bolete Bread Pudding with Huckleberries (wine pairing): 2002 Northstar Merlot, Columbia Valley (6th course): Estrella Red Darla Cheese with Spice Bread and Tart Cherry Compote (7th course): Amagaki Persimmon with Cranberry-Orange Thyme Sorbet (8th course): The Hunter's Reward. Carmelized Apple Souffle' with Spiced Custard Sauce.Butterscotch Creme Brulee with Gingercake. Chocolate Jasmine Napoleon. A choice of brewed coffees, teas, and infusions. (9th course): A selection of small treats (hand crafted chocolates and tiny pastries) (wine pairing) Vintage 1912 Barbeito Bual Madeira "Ok," said Reggie, "but what does it cost?" About what you'd spend for one afternoon's fuel bill running a pair of 460 4-bbl's with gas at $4 a gallon. :-) More specifically, If they nail you for anything in the gift lobby- (my wife was going on and on- and on some more- about how much she really liked some of the titanium crystal stemware. Not entirely immune to a well dropped hint, I made a trip "to the restroom" and bought her a set of six to be wrapped and given to her when we stopped at coat check when departing)- expect to drop about half a yard. Last night's event was a fete for the founder's and directors of a local bank, where my wife was one of the founders and works as CFO. **************************** I'll see if I can get any good photos of the lighted boat parade this evening. You married well. Congratulations |
