2012 Virginia Wine Series: Gadino Cellars


We are well into our 2012 Virginia Wine Series here at "the Bridge," most recently teaming up with Gadino Cellars on June 17 our fourth wine dinner of the year.  Our chefs designed a delicious five course meal paired with five Gadino wines.  The dinner was a real hit...check out some scenes from the evening below!


First course: Mixed seafood salad with clams, calamari and citrus vinaigrette, paired with 2011 Pinot Grigio


Second course: Rabbit terrine with homemade gherkins, paired with Moonrise



Third course: Pork satay and Asian slaw, paired with 2011 Luminoso

Winemaker Bill Gadino provides some musical entertainment

Fourth course: Wild boar ragout with house-made Pappardelle pasta, paired with 2010 Cabernet Franc


Fifth course: chocolate tart with chantilly cream, paired with 2009 Imagine
