6 House Pub Menu and Wine Pairing #9


Cabernet Sauvignon~Columbia Crest Grand Estates ’07 
Supple and surprisingly complex, this is generous with its meaty currant and blackberry flavors, 
Wine spectator 89 PTS 
Glass $6.46 
Bottle $24.96

New York Strip Steak~10 oz. grilled to your liking, & served with a baked potato topped with mushroom caps and onion rings   ~or~  au poivre”~coated in crushed black pepper with a burgundy cream sauce
$17.96

Whether you prefer your steak rare or well done, this Cabernet pairs well with the strip steak. While still young for a Cab, this pleasant red has improved in just the last year ageing in the bottle.  With an overtone of sweet fruit and a creamy nose, this red compliments either the grilled strip or the au poivre sauce.

6 House Pub Menu and Wine Pairing #8


Merlot~Columbia Crest Grand Estates, ’07 
Glass $6.46 
Bottle $24.96
Light on its feet, with a polished feel to the dark berry, prune, star anise and roasted meat flavors. A nice balance of tannins and cocoa spice make this a nice semi-light weight Merlot that can accompany pork loin or roasted poultry.
Wine Spectator 87 PTS 

Mousse Truffee Paté for Two       
$18.96
Luxurious silky mousse paté features black truffles, pork and chicken liver, and is flavored with Pineau des Charentes and Sherry. Served with sliced baguette & baby gherkins

The dark berry and sweet mellow dried plum flavors in the Merlot, balanced by slight tannins offset the creamy flavor of the chicken liver and the anise and cocoa hints enhance the cognac aspect of the Pineau des Charentes. While a nice white is also a lovely accompaniment to paté, this Merlot is nice because it is not too heavy of a red but quite flavorful for what it offers.
