WINE NOTES
Matcha Tea Service:
Matcha tea is used in the traditional Japanese Tea
Ceremony. For the ceremony the powdered Matcha is measured with a
chashaku (bamboo spoon) and is placed in a chawan (serving bowl).
Hot water is added, then whipped with a chasen (bamboo whisk) until
frothy. The thick, frothy tea is consumed straight from the bowl.
For home use, add 1/2 teaspoon Matcha to 8 ounces of freshly boiled
water, stir vigorously and enjoy. Matcha ("powdered tea") is a
special type of green tea: a precious, jewel-green powder made from
hand-picked, high-grade Japanese tea. It is whisked with hot water
in a bowl to make a frothy, healthful beverage.
Beringer 2002 Nightingale Semillon:
Lush, jammy apricot and vanilla flavors. Honeyed
marmalade with buttery tropical fruit. Moderate sweetness balanced
by underlying acidity.

Makrut-Key Lime
Curd
Master
Makes about 5 cups
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups key lime juice
- 40 Makrut lime leaves, chopped
- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- 3 cups sugar, divided
- 6 extra-large eggs
- 4 extra-large egg yolks
In a large, non-reactive saucepan over
medium-high heat, combine water, key lime juice, Makrut leaves, half
the butter and half the amount of sugar. Bring to a boil and let
simmer until sugar completely dissolves. Strain out the Makrut leaves and return liquid to pot. In a large bowl, combine eggs,
yolks and remaining sugar. Whisk to combine. Temper egg mixture and
combine two mixtures in pot. Over medium heat, stir constantly until
thickened to curd consistency, scraping the bottom and sides of pot
so eggs do not overcook. Have a mesh strainer set up over a bowl
within a bowl icebath and force curd through strainer into bowl. Add
remaining butter to curd, whisking until butter is fully
incorporated. Store Makrut-Key Lime Curd in fridge with vented
plastic film touching curd so a skin does not form and chill well.
