+ LXV 2020 Reserve Cabernet Franc
Our very own Martha’s home-made chicken mole with rice
Mole has a special place in my heart. The best rendition of the dish was when we stayed in Cuernavaca in Puebla which is the home of mole. It was a time when Kunal and I were redefining our lives and somehow the memory of the dish is now stuck with that transition.
+ J Lohr 2017 Cuvee St E
Boeuf Bourguignon with scalloped potatoes
Inspired by our recent trip to Burgundy, this is Neeta’s interpretation of Boeuf Bourguignon with miso and hint of green cardamom
+ Union Sacre 2020 Cabernet Franc
Street tacos of Lamb braised in herbs with grilled vegetables
A duelling of the earthiness of the lamb and the sweetness of the grilled veggies. This dish needs a wine that can roll with the punches
+ Austin Hope 2021 Cellar Select Cabernet
