My wife loves to cook and loves to entertain - I am a lucky man

We had some friends over last night and the menu was inspired by traditional 4th of July BBQ...

Sparkling rose (Cordoniu Pinot Noir Brut) with caviar and creme fraiche topped olive oil potato chips
Roasted fingerling potatoes with garlic aioli

Warm basil and spinach salad with prosciutto, parmesan, pine nuts
Mini lobster rolls
Filet mignon "sliders" with Roaring Forties blue cheese and/or hollandaise
French green beans with garlic
(home made buns, Goldeneye Pinot Noir, La Crema Chardonnay)

Strawberry Meringue Cake with Fresh Cream, coffee
Chocolate Truffles
Mini chocolate brownies topped with toasted Marshmallow fluff

Only had one other taker for a cigar but we had some nice 06 RASS next to the fire pit...
