Cruse has prepared a mouthwatering prixe fixe dinner menu with six courses that includes roasted cauliflower and sage mousse, seared beef carpaccio and dark chocolate truffles dusted with cocoa. Featured Fidelitas wines include a Semillon 2008 accompanying the soup course, an Optu White 2008 with a Romaine and crispy prosciutto salad, and a Red Mountain Red 2007 courting those tasty truffles. A complete food and wine menu for the evening is available on the Fidelitas Wine Blog.
“It should be a really fun evening,” said Arista. “The wines from the tasting will be available for sale through Arista at the event.”
