titleTo continue on from my previous blog post, I attended a SECOND wine dinner the following month because I couldn't miss two of my favorite things coming together....Chateauneuf du Pape wine and anything created by Chef Marie-Anne Velasco!
I wouldn't normally think to pair a big red wine with Asian food, but the wines went really well with these rich courses.
Anyway, I'm just going to let the pictures do the talking.
While waiting for everyone to arrive, there was a Banh Mi Welcome Board where you could build your own baby Bahn Mi sandwich! So cute! (Here is my work, deconstructed.)

The first official dish of the night was Braised Pork with rice, and the pork was cooked so well that I didn't get that piggy flavor. Japanese salmon caviar on the side. This was actually my favorite of the night!

The Vietnamese Ginger Beef Salad was delicious in the tangy dressing. The beef was cooked perfectly.

The Lamb Curry was very rich in a coconut curry sauce, and definitely deserved the best of the best CdP!

At the end of the night, there was a Rhone Valley wine swap, and it got quite crazy since people eventually began venturing over to other tables. There was a giant magnum too! I wish I had more room for all the chocolate truffles as well.

What a talented chef! (Don't we look tall here?)

So much girl power that night!
