Dining can be as simple as a variety of delicious canapes such as Caramelized Onion Tarts, Potato Pancakes with Caviar, and entrees like a great Bistecca alla Fiorentina or a fresh from the ocean Striped Seabass with herbs… or more complex dishes like the classic Braised Veal Shank, Lobster Regine or Roule Marquis cake.
Several cheeses at their peak, accompanied by a vintage Port, is a great way to end the meal. The complex and rich flavors of the cheeses are set off nicely by the richness of the Port. These cheese are some of the best in the world and will be well received by your guests: Roquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola, Maytag (all blues); Camembert; Bel Paese; St. Andre, Explorateur (triple creams); Taleggio; Montrachet (or a similar Loire Valley goat cheese); St. Nectaire; Pont L'Eveque; genuine British farmhouse Cheddar.
