Paul brought back baseball sized truffles from Tartufi, Italy and generously shared. So dinner was on!
With mixed-spiced nuts, cheese and bread.
With roasted chicken in a cream-mushroom-herb sauce ... very tasty.
The featured course --- Summer Truffle Risotto.
With grilled ribeye steaks and asparagus.
With fresh strawberries in balsamic sauce.
A wow meal with great friends, plenty of laughs and wine. Thanks Paul for a really fun, fun night.

France, Champagne
Flavorful with good complexity and depth. Well balanced with a nutty, round fruit profile and soft acidity. Long finish has complexity and the full array of flavors.

NV H. Billiot Fils Champagne Grand Cru Brut Réserve

Ultra crisp with lots of zip and a fine, tight bead. Fresh apple and citrus fruits. Tangy, refreshing and crisp finish.
