Gathering at our house to welcome Tobias and his wife on their move to the United States. Also in attendence were Nancy, Jaimie, Holger, Shelley as well as Klaus and Brigitte (Holger's parents visiting for the Holidays from Germany). Jaimie and I did the cooking.
Served as a starter with olive tampenade and anchovy-stuffed olives.
First course was mussels in a saffron and light curry broth.
Second course was a large white asparagus spear (canned from Spain), sliced hard boiled egg and green lentil salad, sprinkled with black pepper, sea salt and parsley with olive oil drizzled over.
Third course was red wine risotto with white truffle butter and parmesean reduction sauce.
Fourth course was rosemary/garlic/dijon encrusted rack of lamb served with creamed parsips and 'stuffed' chard.
Dessert was Bananas Foster.
All in all a nice evening of good company, food and wine in harmony. We look forward to doing this again.

Passed as French to a knowledgable German crowd. Agree that the wine features creamy lemon and mineral with a fine creamy mousse. Great starter.
