This past Saturday, June 13th, we threw a sort of "preview" party at the WPA for 11 friends.
The idea was to provide a varied menu to give folks a pretty good idea of what we're all about. We carefully selected several dishes meant to provide a taste of things to come from the WPA.
As everyone began to arrive, J. got things started on the right foot with his take on the Cherry Lime Ricky with vodka, fresh limes and cherries, and soda.
From there, it was non-stop food and fun with great friends, music and conversation!
The Menu
-Mediterranean chick pea soup
-salad of arugula with a spring onion and heirloom tomato vinaigrette
-grilled pork tenderloin with a rosemary/jalapeno marmalade along
with sage cornbread stuffing and collard greens w/apple wood-smoked bacon
-red wine-braised beef short ribs with rosemary-garlic smashed potatoes
and fresh grilled asparagus, topped with corn meal crusted fried onions
-caramel apple pie with bacon in a cheddar crust served with homemade
butter pecan ice cream
-assorted cheeses and fresh fruit
-Gentil, Hugel Alsace 2007 and Sobon Estate Zinfandel 2007
After the dessert plates were cleared, the "rowdiest" guests pushed the table back and an all-out dance party ensued for another hour and a half! Needless to say, a good time was had by all.
Stay tuned for information regarding the next party!
In the meantime here's some pictures from Saturday...
Please, to enjoy!
