I had never eaten scallops growing up. It wasn’t until about a year or so ago that I
was willing to try one. Watching Hell’s
Kitchen has made me want to be a scallop eater.
However the few times I tried scallops it wasn’t really worth the
hype. I didn’t enjoy the texture or
flavor of the scallop. It wasn’t until
last year when my work had a wine maker dinner that I went to where I had the
BEST scallops. I seriously could have
eaten plate’s worth of these bad boys.
I feel that it is also worth noting that I am not a beer or
wine drinker either. I can barely drink Moscato let alone imagine
drinking and enjoying a glass of red wine.
Going into this event I was open to trying the pairings of wine and
food. I enjoyed every bite and sip. Maybe too much! The pours of wine were VERY
generous and I was feeling it! Needless
to say that Basel Cellars http://baselcellars.com/
impressed me with the taste of their wine.
This evening taught that there
are wines that I can enjoy, apparently I have expensive tastes! Ned Morris
really knows his wine! It was a really
nice hear about how they create their blends and learning about how wine is
made. It was an evening I will remember
for a long time.
Back to the scallops…MMMMM.
The corn was the perfect complement to the scallops. I will be trying to recreate this dish….it
was heavenly.
Here is the rest of the food we ate!
I forgot to take picture of the first course. :\
This is the duck with arugula! (I easily drank 7 glasses of wine and they were fuller than the picture above)
Chocolate mouse with candied rosmary!
Hopefully I can get in on this years wine maker dinners!
