Please join us on Thursday, January 28th at 6:00 pm at The Inn at Court Square for an exciting Wine Dinner with Margeaux McLain and Chef Jim McCullough. Margeaux hails from Somerston Estate Winery in the heart of Napa wine country. Tucked away 8 miles east of Rutherford and the Chiles Valley appellation, Somerston’s remarkable 1628 acre property includes vineyards, spring fed lakes, natural soda springs, fruit orchards, and vegetable and herb gardens. Somerston Estate’s winemaker, Craig Becker, draws on diverse vineyard sources of the Napa Valley to produce intense wines with vivid personality and world-class distinction. The Wine Dinner will feature an exquisite line up of estate-bottled, limited-production Napa Valley wines presented by experienced sommelier, Margeaux McLain, and paired with Chef Jim’s culinary creations.
Chef Jim is very excited to show off his love for food during this wonderful Wine Dinner. He will begin the evening with Canapés and Champagne. His second course will feature Tempura Battered Lobster Sushi Rolls with a Ginger Sake Sauce paired with Priest Ranch Grenache Blanc 2014. The third course will showcase a Creamy Asparagus Soup with Lime Crème Fraiche paired perfectly with a crisp and grassy Priest Ranch Sauvignon Blanc 2013. Jim will highlight two amazing red wines by pairing them with just the right dishes! The fourth course will feature a small bite of Moroccan Rack of Lamb Chop with Stilton Fondue paired with a Highflyer Centerline Red Blend 2010. Jim’s fifth course couples a Mushroom-Wrapped Flank Steak and Burgundy Sage Reduction with a big and bold Priest Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2012. For the evening’s finale, Jim will make a Praline and fresh Berry Napoleon served with Chateau De Caladroy Muscat de Rivesaltes 2013.
I hope you can join us for an evening that will tantalize the senses! If you would like to spend the night afterwards in one of our historic guest rooms, please call for a special a package rate!
