Olive Oil's Wine Dinner #2 a great success!

Submitted by admin on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 15:41

Much fun was had by everyone last night at the second Olive Oil's wine dinner.  Shrimp bruschetta was accompanied by the Northwest  Wines Pinot Gris 2006, a favorite from the last dinner.  Then came antipasto, and then a lovely butternut squash and apple soup.  For the main course, a choice of Pumpkin Gnocchi, Long Island Duckling or a salad with gorgonzola, walnuts and steak.  And for dessert, a puff pastry stuffed with gooey chocolate sauce.
