Wine Pairings
Highlands Pascagoula and Shiraz
A wine that is tasting delicious right now: Chocolate Box Shiraz. This Shiraz has strong coffee and chocolate aromas supported with blackberries and spices with sweet vanilla oak and supportive tannins that have a smooth and silky finish.
This dark, full-flavored Shiraz pairs beautifully with our Highlands Pascagoula – an 8 oz. petite tender that combines the qualities of filet mignon and sirloin, grilled to order and sliced topped with shallots, garlic, kalamata olives, and green peppercorns sauteed in extra virgin olive oil. The Chocolate Box Shiraz and Highlands Pascagoula are a match made in food and wine heaven.
Papoose Park Chop and Pinot Noir
We are excited to share with you one of our favorite winter entrees that is sure to warm you up: Papoose Park Chop. This entree highlights our winter ingredients. This dish features a 14 oz. Laurel Creek all natural pork chop with caramelized cippolini onions, a poached pear, and a raspberry jalapeño reduction. The combination of unique tastes and ingredients is unforgettable!
We recommend pairing this entree with a 2008 Belle Glos ”Meiomi” Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. This Pinot Noir has plum, cherry, and molasses aromas that are sure to excite your senses. In the mouth, juicy pomegranate and plum fruit flavors are kissed by minerals, fresh acidity and supple tannins. The Papoose Park Chop with “Meiomi” Pinot Noir is a chef, staff, and customer favorite!
Cheowa Chicken…bliss!
We take pride in our use of local, organic ingredients. An entrée that highlights our organic ingredients is the Cheowa Chicken. This is a free range, skin on, boneless airline breast served with leg served with shiitake champagne beurre blanc, Charleston rice, and steamed broccoli florets. This is a very popular entrée—it is a light dish with full flavor.
Even though the Cheowa Chicken dish tastes great on its own, we recommend pairing it with a glass or bottle of Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay to highlight the dish even further. Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay has floral aromas of lavender, honey and honeysuckle as well as white peach and tropical aromas of mango and pineapple. It also shows spice notes of vanilla and cinnamon. It has bright vibrant acidity with citrus flavors of lemon, Fuji apple, and white cherries. This is a full flavored chardonnay that compliments the chicken and champagne beurre blanc.
