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.

Semillon: Lush, jammy apricot and vanilla flavors. Honeyed marmalade with buttery tropical fruit. Moderate sweetness balanced by underlying acidity.

 

 

Kaffir Key-Lime Tart
Serves 4

  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
  • 1/2 package graham crackers, pulverized to crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon five spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups Kaffir-Key Lime Curd
  • 1 cup silken tofu, pureed in blender
  • 1 cup heavy cream, well chilled
  • Mixed berries, for garnish (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, swirling often, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Strain through cheesecloth into a container to stop the cooking. Once butter has cooled, in a large bowl, combine butter, graham cracker crumbs, five spice and salt and mix well. Press graham cracker crust into 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake for 10 minutes, until golden. Remove pan to a rack and let cool. In a medium bowl, combine curd and tofu. Spoon curd mixture into crust and chill in fridge for at least 6 hours. Once curd has chilled sufficiently, whip cream until stiff peaks form (the cream on the end of a beater will stand up). Remove tart from fridge, release crust from pan to a serving plate and top with whipped cream and mixed berries, if desired.
