Course 1
The Wine
2019 Whitewater Sparkling Chardonnay
100% Skyline Vineyards Chardonnay. Crisp jonagold apple and hints of anjou pear. Aromas of apple tarts and maybe even something as decadent as apple cake. This wine is swift and dynamic, like entering 5 mile canyon on the Bruneau River. It is a classic Champagne-style sparkling wine.
The Appetizer
Apple pear pork galette with fresh mint.
Course 2
The Wine
2021 Pool & Drop Sparkling Gewürztraminer
100% Gewurztraminer from Sawtooth Vineyard. This is not your typical gewurztraminer. It is a zingy, sparkling take on the classic grape that grows well in our region. Bursting open with pineapple, green apple, lemon custard, and a hint of jasmine. If you let it sit in your glass long enough you might even pick up on the more nuanced elements of lemon grass, verbena, and some lemon curd pastry.
The Entrée
Lemon pineapple ginger chicken with herbed wild rice.
Course 3
The Wine
2022 Initial Descent 100% Sparkling Malbec Rosé
Sometimes you get to go down a stretch of river for the very first time, that is an "initial descent." We don't know of very many sparkling rosé Malbecs, so we think this could be an initial descent for many of the enjoyers of these bubbles. (Also our oldest kiddo painted the watercolor we ended up using for the background of the label on this wine; initial descent being our theme for this wine, we like that he was the one that created the art.)
The Dessert
Peach pear brown sugar cheesecake.
