I Need A Top Chef Fix!
Well folks, it's been one full week since the Top Chef finale. I've been dealing with my withdrawls by throwing myself into my work. Last night was the Seghesio wine dinner at Hi-Life Cafe with guest host Camille Seghesio. Seghesio is a sensational winery with the third and fourth generation Seghesio's at the helm. You can find out more about their wines at Seghesio.com. The dinner was beautiful and the pairings were spot on!
Camille let me know that she enjoyed all the pairings, but was absolutely blown away with the pairing of our flourless chocolate cake in a raspberry coulis with the Seghesio "Old Vine" Zinfandel. A huge risk, but this one really paid off. Generally it is a no-no trying to pair red wines with dessert, but I knew after trying the combination that it would be a real crowd pleaser.
Following is a copy of the entire menu with pairings. Hope you enjoy!!

Hi Carlos!!! It was so nice to meet you last Thursday!! It made my drive from Jacksonville well worth the headache. Just to let you know, I had my "game face" on when I finally reached my destination in Miami...let's just say that I knew I wasn't in Kansas anymore because somebody try to steal my ruby shoes as soon as I got there!!! LOL.
Again, it was a pleasure to meet you. I haven't stopped telling everyone I know how nice and down to earth you are.
Cheers,
Michelle from Jacksonville
