West Steak and Seafood, will host a six course prix-fixe wine pairing dinner on September 24, 2013 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Cakebread Cellars.
West Steak and Seafood’s executive chef, Eugenio Martignago, begins the evening’s culinary experience by pairing a crisp and fruitful 2012 Sauvignon Blanc with an aperitif of heirloom tomatoes, burrata, fresh mission figs and bacon steak cured figs. This appetizing plate is soon followed by a delicious puff pastry filled with sea scallops and mushroom duxelles, paired with a rich 2011 Chardonnay that has aged for eight months in a French oak barrel to enhance its flavors and texture. The third course, comprised of a fresh porcini mushroom soufflé and Maine lobster, is complemented by an earthy 2012 Pinot Noir. The fourth dish, a lamb osso bucco Milanese and orange cauliflower purée, artfully brings out the generous aromas of its accompanying 2012 Zinfandel. Next served is a fragrant 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, paired with a delicious wagyu hanger steak, haricot verts, ratatouille and goat cheese timballo. The menu is completed with an assortment of artisan cheeses and a satisfying 2010 Dancing Bear Cabernet Sauvignon, offering rich notes of dark cherry, boysenberry, blackberry and plum fruits.
