“Off the beaten palate’s” review of the Umami dinner

see review

******

I love to start a meal with bubbles. It’s the perfect way to celebrate life.Try a beautiful grower champagne made from three grand cru sites such as the DeSousa et Fils Grand Cru Champagne, priced at $125.

Reds

We have a gorgeous little Beaucastel collection of Chateauneuf du Pape. It’s a perfect wine with our chef’s cuisine. We have vintages from the 80′s through 2003. I’d suggest the 1998, priced at  $325 or the 1999 for $250 for different reasons.

Whites

One of my favorite whites at the moment is the 1992 Riesling Auslese by Von Buhl from the Pfalz, priced at $195. It’s heavenly.

Marissa is passionate about pairing the guest with the perfect wine.
