WINE NOTES

Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sec: The Demi-Sec is a slightly off-dry style of champagne that is full of creamy fruit flavors. Great both as a dessert wine or with spicy Asian cuisine. A great pairing is with the foie tart as the extra body and sweetness help highlight the foie and caramelized leeks. Half bottles of champagne are ideal for small groups as they are more likely to be finished before they go flat.

                                    Joseph Voillot Bourgogne Rouge: Burgundy is known for its great villages such as Gevrey Chambertin, Mersault but not all wine makes ‘the cut’  to be labeled from a village. This is usually great wine, if you are buying it from a trusted producer. This particular wine is very fruit forward and full of cherries, rose petals and earthy notes. Great with rich dishes as it is light and refreshing.

                                    Machiatto: Italian for an espresso with foam, the addition of a small amount of foamed milk helps smooth out the bitterness while still providing a dose of pure coffee flavor.
