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

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

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
