Wine Maker's Dinner Menu - cjs - 10-11-2007 Well, the menu is in place and I'm really thrilled with it - most are dishes I've done so many times, so won't be a problem with it being just Roy & me in the kitchen. The four winery partners are going to do the serving, so that will make things so much easier.

Sounds wonderful. Please post pictures! Re: Wine Maker's Dinner Menu - DFen911 - 10-11-2007 And recipes. This would be such a fun party to throw and I"m already planning it out in my head Re: Wine Maker's Dinner Menu - cjs - 10-11-2007 Denise, any recipes that look good to you I'll be glad to give you. You could probably make a couple of really fun dinner parties out of them. (I intend to! ) I lost the recipe for the Herb-crusted Mahi Mahi with roasted fennel and tomatoes somewhere - I've torn this house apart and can't find it, so had to develop a version today. Had some neighbors in to taste test and we all liked this version - I'll probably run across the original recipe tomorrow....murphy's law! Made the 'Leeks Mimosa with hazelnuts' today also, wasn't real sure of the recipe, and it turned out great. I'll offer this again. It's a pretty presentation for a dinner party. (so easy and a lot of make ahead....don't we love those dishes?) P.S. to any of you non-caterers, the Leeks Mimosa with Hazelnuts would be a great 'side dish' for a dinner party - they always seem to be the stumping point of a dinner menu. Pardon any ramblings, we started drinking wine to 'test' the recipes, had to, you know....and we just kept on. Re: Wine Maker's Dinner Menu - pjcooks - 10-11-2007 Thank you, Jean, sounds great!
