With the help of our wine enthusiast/friend/supporter Ian, Tim and I selected some of our favorites of the region. Although many of the wines we tried were excellent, we were trying to build something special, a journey if you will. We chose wines that we thought were interesting and representative of what regional Rhone wines should be, but overall we chose wines that we truly felt were just good. After we decided on the wines and their succession, it was my job to build a menu around them (and for me, that’s the fun part!). The challenge of course is not just to make good, sound dishes, but to create dishes that don’t get in the way of the wines or contrast them in an uncomplimentary way, dishes that accent the flavors and nuances of each wine, dishes that make the wine “sing.” (see the menu attached below) view page
