Sunday evening was our winemaker dinner with Franklin Square Wine Bar (FSWB) in Oakland. There was a great turnout at this event, full of friends, wine club members and FSWB regulars. The food was delicious and the wine was flowing. Rick Mitchell, the owner of FSWB, introduced Jack and I, as we were the Lost Canyon representatives. Jack then took over and walked the audience through the wine and food pairing of each of the 3 courses. This winemaker dinner was unique in that the second course had a comparitive tasting with 2 Pinot Noirs and again with the third course, comparing 2 Syrahs. The hit for the evening was the Cassoulet paired with the 2 Syrahs. I heard a few patrons bugging Jake (the Chef) for a recipe! Below is a copy of the menu.
