The Chart House, Weehawken New Jersey

Ruffino Import Company is having a wine dinner at the Chart House restaurant in Weehawken New Jersey tonight.  A great way to celebrate Valentine's Day a little early.  Just a word of warning, this is going to be another epic multi-part post.

Tonight's dinner wines

The first course was Insalata di Melone:  micro rocket, parma prosciutto, Meyer lemon gastrique.  The melon was cut thin which made the melon to prosciutto ratio very good.

This was paired with the 2017 Orvieto Classico, Tuscany.  A little sweeter than we usually like, but it cut the pork fat and complemented the gastrique. It will be a good summer wine.

See the next post for the Second Course.
