For the final "event" of our stay-cation, we secured a seating in HASR Bistro's courtyard for a Peju Winery wine tasting. The wines featured were the:
Sauvignon Blanc
"Tess" red/white blend
Merlot
Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Sauvignon
Syrah
My favorites were the Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon and all of the wines were 10% off their usual price just during the tasting. I would have purchased a bottle or two of the Cabernet Franc but alas, HASR was totally out - in fact the winery was totally out of Cabernet Franc. Oh well, my storage is full anyway.
The heavy pupu menu created by Chef Rodney looked like this:
Spiced Hamachi w/Chilled Bell Pepper Soup
Pekin Duck w/Taro Cakes
Smoked Salmon w/Potato Galette
Philly Cheese Steak Sliders
Escargot with Hamakua Mushrooms
Mongolian Lamp Chop
Kabayaki Salmon Sushi
Marinated Veg Brochettes
Assorted Cheese Platter
The appetizers were all very good though I particularly loved the Lamb Chops especially since we were treated to a full plate of them.
And the Philly Cheese Steak Sliders were great with a thicker - but still very tender - piece of beef as well as the Escargot which I always enjoy!
We also uncorked a couple of our own bottles including a 2009 Kosta Browne Russian River Vally Pinot Noir.
A 2005 Mollydooker Enchanted Path.
A 2007 Jarvis Cabernet Franc
A 2007 Saggi Sangiovese
And a 2004 Clos de L'Obac Priorat
