The BC Wine Appreciation Society stopped in today for a tasting and lunch on their annual bus tour through the Similkameen Valley. We started with a tasting of our current releases and a walk through the vineyards and proceeded to the two-course lunch in the sun (its always sunny on the Cawston Bench), prepared by our dear friends from Joy Road Catering. There are worse ways to spend a sunny afternoon.
The Menu:
First Course: Homemade charcuterie, Alsace style onion tart with thyme, creme fraiche and bacon, and baked in the Orofino wood oven. Pairing: 2010 Orofino Riesling
Second Course: Local braised lamb shoulder, duck egg pasta, roasted pepper relish, heirloom tomatoes, herbs, Gabby's fabulous French beans with black olive tapenade. Pairing: 2009 Orofino Red Bridge Merlot.
