COURSE 1

Fennel Sausage Arancini
Risotto blended with fennel sausage, mozzarella, grated parmesan and romano cheese, breaded and fried. Served with marinara dipping sauce

WINE PAIRING: J. LOHR 'SEVEN OAKS' CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Sourced primarily from their esteemed vineyards in Paso Robles, this Cabernet showcases the region’s ideal conditions for producing robust and flavorful red wines. This wine brings depth, dark fruit, and a touch of spice, enhancing the hearty flavors of the arancini

COURSE 2

Rigatoni Poverella
Rigatoni pasta in a creamy garlic white wine sauce with parmesan cheese, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes and crumbled fennel sausage

WINE PAIRING: PESSIMIST RED BLEND

This wine serves as a tribute to the significance of memory, love, and the lasting connections that unite us. Its inspiration has given rise to the phrase, "A Pessimist is never disappointed." This bold, fruit-forward wine with notes of blackberry, plum and spice complements the richness of the creamy sauce

COURSE 3

Sirloin Marsala
Wood-grilled 10oz sirloin prepared with Mr. C's Grill Baste, olive oil and herbs, topped with mushrooms and our Lombardo Marsala wine sauce. Served with green beans with caramelized red onions

WINE PAIRING: AUSTIN HOPE CABERNET SAUVIGNON

The Hope family has been farming in Paso Robles since the 1970's. Austin Hope, second-generation winemaker had a vision to create a world class Cabernet from Paso Robles. The steak’s smoky char and savory richness are matched by the Cabernet’s intense dark fruit and toasty oak dish with bold contrast. Its richness highlights the smoky grilled flavors, while its acidity plays well with the salsa’s brightness

COURSE 4

Chocolate Semifreddo with Strawberries
Silky frozen Italian chocolate mousse, sliced and topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and fresh strawberries

WINE PAIRING: DAOU CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Crafted by wine maker Daniel Daou, this Cabernet is a remarkable expression of the Bordeaux-style wines for which Paso Robles is renowned. Rich blackberry and cassis notes enhance the deep cocoa flavors of the mousse
