We're not going on that day.

What should you expect - the Coral Reef (and Le Cellier) change menus each pairing. It won't be all fish.

The first F&W Pairing we went to at the Coral Reef (about 4 years ago), I believe there were 5 foods and wines (lasted 2-2.5 hours). All the other locations had 4. Then they dropped to four. Now all locations are 3 this year. The prices have been adjusted accordingly. I believe the price was $45 in years past.

The servings are appetizer size, (more than what you would get at the Party for the Senses).

DH and I attended one there 2 years ago and really enjoyed it! Delicious food presented beautifully and the wine was paired excellently. Enjoy!

Here are menu's from past years:
2004
Grilled Shrimp over Wilted Spinach and Marinated Tomatoes
paired with Horse Heaven Savignon Blanc
Sauteed Snapper on a Nest of Zucchini and Carrots w/Ginger lemon sauce
paired with Canoe Ridge Estate Chardonnay
Mango Sorbet with Warm Banana Bread Pudding
paired with Erocia Riesling

2003
Butter Poached Maine Lobster/Lobster Risotto w/Mascarpone & English Peas
paired with Valley of the Moon Pinot Blanc
Heirloom Tomatoes w/Opal Basil, Balsamic Drizzle and Asiago
paired with Valley of the Moon Sangiovese
Seared Atlantic Salmon w/French Beans, Fingerling Potatoes, Watercress, Mustard Vinaigrette, Olive Emulsion
paired with Kenwood Pino Noir
Grilled Pork Tenderloin w/Creamy Polenta, Chantarelles, Hen of the Wood Mushrooms and Red Wine Reduction
paired with Lake Sonoma Dry Creek Zinfandel


Although they are small portions, DH and I always feel pleasantly full by the end of the pairings. It's a wonderful way to taste some new dished created by chefs putting their talents to use. Enjoy!
