The Menu
Amuse-Bouche
“Firefly Waltz”
Peach & Prosciutto Bruschetta
Whipped Goat Cheese on Rosemary Toast, Glistening Honeycomb
Pairing: Summer Spritz (Prosecco, Citrus, Fresh Herbs)
Light, effervescent, and welcoming.
The bubbles lift the richness of the goat cheese while citrus and herbs echo the brightness of the peach. A clean, sparkling handshake to start the evening.
First Course
“Summer Watermelon Salad”
Chilled watermelon, cut thick and true, layered with whipped feta, shaved red onion, and a bright tangle of fresh herbs and greens.
Finished with citrus, olive oil.
Pairing: Stockman Sauvignon Blanc
Crisp, vibrant, and cooling.
High acidity cuts through the sweetness of the melon while amplifying the fresh cucumber and mango. It drinks like a cool breeze rolling in after a long Texas afternoon.
Second Course
“Blush of Dawn”
Deconstructed Paella
Saffron-Infused Seafood Broth with Smoked Chorizo, Grilled Scallop, Shrimp, Octopus, Mussels, and Clams,
Finished with a Bomba Rice Cracker.
Pairing: Rosé Gold Rosé (Strawberry, Citrus, Mineral Notes)
Delicate fruit with a savory backbone.
The rosé mirrors the subtle sweetness of shellfish while its minerality plays beautifully with saffron. Gentle strawberry notes add charm without overpowering the dish.
Third Course
“Twilight Ember”
Smoked Beef Tenderloin with Roasted Fig Reduction Wild Mushroom & Fennel Strudel
Butter Lettuce Salad with Radish, Chives, and Warm Bacon Vinaigrette
Pairing: Domaine Carneros Estate Pinot Noir 2022
Silky, layered, and quietly powerful.
Red cherry and raspberry notes weave into the fig reduction, while earthy undertones complement the mushroom and fennel. The smoke from the tenderloin gives the wine something to lean into—this is where elegance meets fire.
Fourth Course
“Night’s Embrace”
Pistachio Cheesecake with Dark Chocolate Ganache
Pairing: Opaque Darkness, Paso Robles (Bold Red)
Deep, rich, and unapologetically full-bodied.
Dark fruit and structure contrast the creamy sweetness of the cheesecake, while the wine’s weight keeps the finish balanced. A bold final note—like the last song played just a little louder before the lights come up.
