Second Course
Fresh Market Salad - Arcadian Lettuce, Mission Figs, Goat Cheese and Port Belly with Strawberry Viaigrette
Third Course

...intermezzo...
Blood Orange Sorbet

Each course will be paired with an appropriate wine from J Lohr estates.
Nice, huh?
Yup, it's a wine pairing dinner at a great restaurant. We've had our reservations in, and have been waiting for weeks for it. Since I was working a quilt show on my birthday Sunday, it'll also serve as my birthday dinner.
Only a few hours now. Can't wait!
