2012 Virginia Wine Series: Pearmund Cellars



The sixth wine dinner in our Virginia Wine series featured selections from Pearmund Cellars, a winery right here in Fauquier County.  Our chefs crafted five dishes alongside the staff at Pearmund Cellars to highlight certain aspects of their wines when paired with food.  Check out a few photos below of the making-of and final products of their collaboration.


The 1st course of the evening was a scallop & grilled pineapple ceviche, paired with 2011 Petit Manseng

2nd course: local farm trio of honey, beets & arugula, paired with the 2010 Viognier


The 3rd course of the night was cold smoked duck with polenta & cherry sauce, paired with 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon

For the 4th course, a pepper crusted bison tenderloin served over chevre whipped potatoes & balsamic reduction, paired with 2010 Petit Verdot



The final course was grilled peach, Morbier cheese & peach reduction, paired with 2009 Celebration
