Filet mignon, parsnip purée, Black truffle jus, and more, at the Caviar and Truffle Dinner, at Parizade, last Friday December 27.

Paired with Mas de Cynanque Amphyèdre 2018, an organic 100% Mourvèdre with raised in amphora, bringing finesse to this rather earthy and somewhat unusual varietal.

The Caviar part of the Caviar and Truffle Dinner, at Parizade, last Friday December 27.
Scrumptious with this Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs de la Côte des Blancs Champagne from my Oenologist-Grower-Vintner Yanick Olivier. Fantastic Champagne, fabulous pairing.
