After each Passports wine dinner, I think, how can they possibly top this? Last night’s menu surely tookĀ the cake!
The charming and knowledgeable Matt Rose presented a fine selection of East Coast wines from Bedell Wines of North Fork, Long Island, and with that theme in mind, Chef Eric Lorden, Jeremy, and company created a menu that was pure American and pure delish.
Where else can you go for aĀ dinner of four sublimely delicious courses,Ā each course paired with a different wine, outstanding and welcoming service, learn about new wines, and all for the amazingly reasonableĀ price of $45.00??
Cell phone photos do not do this food justice, but at least you can get an idea.
Eric Lorden, if you are reading this, please add all these dishes to your daily menu!!Ā
First Course – Jeremy’s Clams Casino
Second Course – Pulled pork and fried oyster slider on grilled brioche
Third CourseĀ –Ā Yankee pot roast, mashed root veggies, sauteed ramps
Fourth Course – Fresh strawberry shortcake
The rose was paired with the strawberry shortcake.

The reeds were in the way of the perfect shot but the way the Heron and Egret passed each looked like they just a an argument.
