Prep Time

We’re hosting a dinner party tonight – Debbie & Stu The Wine Genius Williams and Ana Scofield & Rudy Maxa – so I’m hopping to it.  Here’s the menu:

Radishes with butter (Hope Creamery, of course)
Dates wrapped in bacon
Roasted new potatoes with aioli

Roasted chickens (on the grill, using two genius Weber Poultry Roasters)
Wild mushroom sauce
Bread salad of chard, onions, pine nuts, and currants

Cheeses, Brownies

I’ll fill in wine details after I figure them out, but I think we’ll open with champagne and a white burgundy; pinot noir or French burgundy(s) with dinner; sauterne with cheese/dessert.  Stay tuned…
