Through careful and precise management of the incoming fruit, harvest continued evenly until it was completed on October 20th. Picking started on September 21st at the fresh fruit stage of ripeness to keep flavors bright and lively.

This course was served with Opus One Napa Valley 2012, a glorious wine composed of a mix of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, petit verdot and malbec.įor the main course, we were served was Coffee dusted Filet Mignon which I will refer to as ‘Dream on a plate’. I had never had pork belly however, seeing that I am a huge bacon fan like most of you, I knew I would enjoy it. The second course was Pork Belly with Baby Gem Lettuce and Roasted Plums. It was perfectly paired with Robert Mondavi Oakville Fume Blanc 2013, a white with what I consider fruity tones. This one dish convinced me that I can enjoy celery-that is if it is thinly sliced and bathed in citrus. The objective of the evening was to treat us to some of the fabulous wines by Opus One paired with some amazing dishes, and to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Robert Mondavi Winery.Īfter the appetizers (smoked salmon was my favorite), we were seated and served the first course of Rainbow Trout with Turnips and Celery. Last week, I grabbed my friend Kim and spent an evening wining and dining her at the Opus One Wine Dinner at Foxwoods Resort Casino.
