Last year in March, we won a fancy wine-pairing dinner at an auction, prepared and hosted by a very nice couple with their own wine cellar. It wasn’t long afterwards that we found out that Kelly was pregnant, so we had to put off the event for quite some time. We finally had the dinner this weekend and it was worth the wait! It was one of the most beautiful and delicious meals we’ve had–a six-course meal with good friends and (of course) incredibly well-paired wines.
Grilled New Orleans-Style Shrimp; Assorted Cheeses and Grapes
Squash Soup with Proscuitto and Fig Cream
Grilled Pear Salad with Bacon, Roquefort Cheese, and Port Vinaegrette
Rasberry Sorbet with Lemon and Mint

It was a lovely meal with friends and we’re looking forward to more culinary adventures!
Wow, this looks delicious!
