Wine Pairing
Kila Cava, Penedès, Barcelona, Spain
Dusty apple, spice and tropical fruit aromas feed into a mellow palate that isn’t terribly acidic or cutting. Nectarine, passion fruit and mango flavors finish ripe and friendly, with residual sweetness and tropical fruit flavors.

The wine shows incredible citrus elements, leading with lemon peel and zest of Sumo orange, the aromatics of white flowers, a faint hint of bright strawberry on the mid-palate, and the layered flavors of white peach on the finish

Wine Pairing
Elk Cove “Pike Road” Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon
This beautiful Pinot Noir is dark with aromas of juicy plum, cherry, sassafras, and purple violets. The palate is very well-integrated with black fruit, plum skin, leather, and tart cherries leading to a pleasantly soft finish.
Certified Sustainable

Table 4
Honduran Fruit Tart??

Wine Pairing
Elio Perrone “Sourgal” Moscato d’Asti, Italy
Yellow, changing towards green, vivid, brilliant. Intense, polyhedral: it recalls orange flowers, yellow peach, sage and just picked Muscat grapes. Sweet and harmonic, well balanced, with a typical Muscat’s acidity.
