2012 Virginia Wine Series: Gray Ghost Vineyards

Here at Iron Bridge, we've just wrapped up our fifth Virginia Wine Dinner of the year, featuring Gray Ghost Vineyards.  Last night, the restaurant was full of guests enjoying five courses deliciously paired with five Gray Ghost wines.  Keep scrolling for photos of each course and other scenes from the evening.  



The first course of the evening was a watermelon gazpacho, paired with Gray Ghost's Victorian White.

The second course was an arugula salad topped with fried pancetta, crushed walnuts and lemon vinaigrette,  and was paired with the 2011 Vidal Blanc.

Al Kellert, co-owner and co-winemaker, talks about his wines and the awards they have won.

The third course was a chicken roulade served with potato puree and sauce Lyonnaise, paired with the 2010 Reserve Chardonnay.

The fourth course, consisting of a hangar steak and roasted potatoes tossed with olives and rosemary, was paired with the 2010 Ranger Reserve Red, Gray Ghost's Bordeaux blend.








The final course was a duo of dessert: chocolate truffles and peach Waldorf with biscotti crumble, paired with a duo of wines: the 2008 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and 2011 Adieu.
As you may already know, space for these dinners is limited and slots fill up quickly!  Our next wine dinner will be with Pearmund Cellars on August 26 and Fox Meadow on September 16.  Call us today for more information or to make your reservation: (540) 349-9339.
