Hama Hama Oyster Crudo with Florida watermelon, heirloom radish, shishito peppers and micro marigolds
2014 H3 Chardonnay (Horse Heaven Hills)
This elegant, medium-bodied chardonnay opens with aromas of spiced pear and freshly sliced apples with notes of blossoms and honey. Hints of toasty coconut join flavors of white orchard fruits, pineapple, grapefruit and sweet oak, ending with a lengthy finish of creamy vanilla.
Cedar Plank Faroe Island Salmon prepared with a honey spice lacquer, quinoa eggplant caviar and pomegranate
2014 H3 Merlot (Horse Heaven Hills)
This medium-bodied merlot delivers aromas of spice and blackberry with the perfect balance of earth, cocoa and ripe cherry notes on the palate. The complex flavors are followed by a smooth, velvety finish
