MENU

Social Hour Appetizer

Mfino Fritters

Maize fritters with salmon

Paired with 2023 Monarcha Sparkling Rose - A beautiful almost ethereal pink defines the color of the wine, with the delicate nose of strawberries and just a hint of cranberry. On the palate the typical delicate bubbles of the Monarcha style leave the mouth fresh with bright red fruits, a very slight hint of tartness, and acid to balance out the overall experience.

Gold 91 Points - Savor NW 2024

1^st Course

Bunny Chow

Chicken & chickpea curry

Paired with 2023 Palencia Sauvignon Blanc - Winemaker Victor Palencia has always excelled at Sauvignon Blanc, and this release from the Royal Slope AVA carries an air of style and sophistication that takes it to a whole new level. It opens with generous flavors of starfruit, white plum, honeydew melon, and stone fruits that seamlessly glide into a crisp finish with accents of orange zest.

2^nd Course

Boerewors, Pap & Sous

Sausage, porridge & sauce

Paired with 2016 El Viñador Grenache - This special library pour is 100% Grenache from Wahluke Slope & has a medium to full weight in taste, this Grenache is fruit-forward and aromatic with crisp acidity, providing scents of ruby red grapefruit with lots of cherry and licorice flavor.

3rd Course

Denningvleis and Geelrys

Lamb stew & yellow rice

Paired with 2017 El Viñador Petit Verdot - Fermented in small vat open top fermenters and aged in 100% French Oak for 24 months gives our wines balance and complexity that showcases the fruit and vineyard quality. This Petit Verdot is a rare gem demonstrating the bold flavors and aromas of a 100% Petit Verdot, most commonly used as a blender, this variety can demonstrate immense depth and flavors when grown and cellared with TLC. Pairs great with grilled meats, charcuterie, and chocolate.

Gold - Savor NW 2020

Dessert

Pampoenkoekies with caramel glaze

Pumpkin fritters 

Paired with 2021 Monarcha Merlot - 100% Merlot sourced from Columbia Valley, WA. Inky purple with ruby edges, this Merlot has incredible fingers indicative of its higher altitude production location. Notes of cherry, strawberry, and rhubarb define a pungent nose. The fruit carries onto the palate with the notes of sour cherries, well-defined tannins, and possibly a hint of blueberry running in the background.
