“This will be an awesome wine tasting to attend,” Mason said. “The wines are unique, well balanced and will enhance Chef Adam’s three course menu. Plus, these wines are not sold locally so the only way to try them is to join us at the wine dinner!”
The following is Executive Chef Adam Hunt’s planned three course menu:
Starter
Main Entrée
Dessert
“When I built tonight’s menu, I wanted to start the evening with something light and fun,” Hunt said. “The coconut shrimp has that crispy texture and a little sweetness from the coconut, with just enough heat from the Thai chili sauce to wake up your palate. The citrus notes in the dressing and the Sauvignon Blanc pairing really bring everything together. At the end of the day, what I love most about cooking is bringing people together around a table.”
