Food and Wine Pairings at F & W Festival

[cdnmickeylover]

Ok I'd be interested in any of the restaurants but unfortunately DH is a little bit of a picky eater at times. Does anyone know what the foods are for any of the restaurants offering this? I'm assuming that it's a set menu type of thing and I'd like to give him an idea of the food tastes before we book.

They are different each day, but here's a couple of sample's from last year.
1) Pan-seared Salmon Filet
w/baby artichokes, roasted garlic, fresh lemon & Artichoke
bottoms tossed w/extra virgin olive oil
Grilled Ahi Tuna
Served w/Porcini Mushrooms, Grilled Asparagus, in a fresh
herb butter w/shaved parmesan
Roasted Vegetable Galette
W/roasted roam tomatoes, shallots, fingerling potatoes,
calamata olives, fresh thyme and extra virgin olive oil
Poached Pears
Served with a honey marscapone cheese and cranberry
spiced pear sauce.
The Wine at this pairing was from the Masi Winery and we really enjoyed it.

2) Warm Lobster Salad
over Root Vegetables
Pan Seared Sea Bass
Served w/ginger, white rice and lemon broth
Seared Lamb
Served w/roasted garlic mashed potatoes
Assorted Cheeses
Smoked gouda, gorgonzola and dubliner

The wine was from the Fess Parker Winery.

We enjoyed both meals immensely and plan to attend all the food and wine pairings that we can fit in during this years trip.
Hope this helps you make a decision.

Our Food and Wine pairing last year consisted of :
Seafood Bouillabaisse, Crab cheesecake, Honey-lacquered Duck, and Sorbet trio - paired with wines from Chateau Ste. Michelle.
It's my understanding that the Chef makes the menu based on the wines that will be served - so you won't know what you are going to get until you get there! Enjoy- Jill

I was at the Masi winery one. That poached pear thing was really good.

Doing three of these this year...
