Sake Tasting at Silverlake Wine

Last weekend was kinda nuts. We did four sizeable catering parties and then our ole' standby... Sunday's Silverlake Wine Tasting.

This week, it was not wine but a Sake Tasting. Randy asked Matt to do something sort of Mediterranean/ Asian. I said, "That's all you, babe! Have fun!"

And so he did. Here was the menu...

Spicy Tuna Tar Tar served over Warm Sauteed Spinach, and Crispy Fried Black Garbonzo Beans

Sturgen Confit Wrap with Pesto and Tomato Aioli

Duck Confit Lasagna.

I repeat. Duck Confit Lasagna with Carmelized Sweet & Sour Onions, Fresh Mozzarella, and Smokey Bechamel.

In a word, Out-friggin-rageous!!!!

Matt made a creamy Risotto to accompany the last course which was:

Marinated Prime Beef Cap served tender and rare.

...but of course.

As usual, lots of fun.

Silverlake Wine Tasting, September 13th

As you know, last Sunday, August 30th, we did the Sunday Silverlake Wine Tasting paired with Ice Cold Artisanal Beer.

Here was the Menu:

FIRST COURSE:

Peatendril & Wild Rocket Arugula with Summer Squash, Sauteed Wild Mushrooms, Shaved Fennel, Feta, and a Spicy Heirloom Tomato BBQ Dressing

SECOND COURSE:

Spinach Confit Baby Artichoke Agnolotti with Purple Cherokee Compote

THIRD COURSE:

Smoked Mac N Cheese Lasagna with Cumin Coleslaw and Braised Corned Beef

FOURTH COURSE

Chocolate Brioche Bread Pudding in a Bittersweet Chocolate Creme Fraiche Custard, layered with Butterscotch Sauce and served with Milk Chocolate Sauce and Toasted Meringue

....................................................................................................

The Agnolotti was a special Jumbo Size so each person was served one piece to explode in their mouth.

And the Corned Beef was from a small farm that takes great pride in the rearing of their livestock which was relfected in the succulent richness of this dish.

Next Sunday, Septmeber 13th, we will again be back a Silverlake Wine for a Sake Tasting

And of course we will be selling our Cupcake Lasagnas! See you there!!
