First course was a delicate ravioli filled with Aubergine Imam on a rich tomato sauce. the Emphasis assyrtiko , matched perfectly. Assyrtiko is one of the few grape varieties that match well with tomatoes.
Next came a petit fish burger in a mini brioche bun , garnished with chervil, very tasty. Emphasis Chardonnay was chosen to go with this dish , and it did it proud. This chardonnay is lightly oaked and very elegant.
The meat course was rooster (chicken) on a bed of hylopittes (small pasta) mixed with raisans and hazelnuts, accompanied by the best sausage that I have ever tasted.
Well done to the chef!!! all washed down with a glass of Thema Red , a blend of Syrah and Agiogitiko , perfect.
The finale was a bitter chocolate mousse topped with caramel cream and cinnamon sugar matched with a glass of spicy Syrah.
This was a memorable evening
There are two more Wine Wednesdays at Aleria this summer and I think we might just be there.
Sounds lovely, Mary!
