LOCAL Chop and Grill House Virginia Wine Dinner
Thursday, February 23rd at 6pm
Scallop Carpaccio, LOCAL honey and pear salsa, crispy LOCAL tortilla, caramelized grapefruit and Virginia green apple jus
BLANC DE BLANCS This Brut is made via Méthode Champenoise with our best Chardonnay grapes. Picking at night by hand in small baskets and gentle, core-only pressing ensure that this wine retains all of its best qualities. The long and creamy, finely-beaded mouth feel is perfectly balanced with crisp acidity.
Housemade Salmon Gravlax, Shenandoah Growers herbs, salmon roe, strawberry basil preserve, toasted brioche and fresh watercress
SPARKLING ROSE Beyond the particular purist requirements of Méthode Champenoise, this blend of 95% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Noir gains complexity with partial barrel fermentation and aging on the lees for 21 months. A beautiful salmon hue, the nose of this Brut is of rose, raspberries and light toast. The crisp acidity and minerality are balanced well with the wild strawberry and pastry found on the palate.
Grilled Cantaloupe ‘Steak’, LOCAL lavender and mango puree, fresh arugula and lemon, Sauvignon Blanc braised artichoke hearts
SAUVIGNON BLANC The vines, planted in 2006, provide a balanced production, with the grapes giving the expression and aromatic potential seen in Sauvignon Blanc. The refreshing acidity of the mouth feel is well-balanced with ample structure from aging on the lees and the addition of 13% Semillon.
Olive Dusted Wild Boar Loin, grilled LOCAL white yams, Simply Red pickled green beans and a blackberry beurre rouge
SIMPLY RED This Bordeaux-style blend of 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot and 0.2% Malbec has a balanced, silky palate. Low temperatures during fermentation preserve fruitiness, while partial aging in French oak adds complexity.
Virginia Apple and Sourdough Bread Pudding, bourbon caramel, toasted almond ice cream and candied orange
CRU Unique to Trump Winery, Cru is created by blending freshly pressed Chardonnay with brandy at an early stage, preserving the fruity aromas of the Chardonnay grapes. The distinct aging process – aged for over a year in American bourbon barrels – results in complex and spicy aromas that are truly all-American.
Five course LOCAL Wine Dinner is $65 per person. With winemaker Gregory Brun and Patricia Kluge, founder of Kluge Estate. Limited seats available, call 540-801-0505 to reserve.
