Starter
Bruschetta
On Focaccia Bread
Pascal Jolivet ‘Attitude’ Sauvignon Blanc
The acidity of ‘Attitude’ always blends so nicely with the oil and tomato of Bruschetta.

A fun little wine with flavors of berries and hints of tobacco and a touch of spice.

Robert Hall Merlot
This medium bodied Merlot has enough fruit and earth to blend perfectly with the sweet salmon and whole grain mustard.

The nuttiness of the 10 year tawny is a great match for the caramel in crème brulee.
