On Saturday night I had 3 friends over for a 'Wine Scavenger Hunt'. For The Hunt, each person was assigned a course of a set menu - I did the cooking and the assigned person paired it with a complimentary wine. For a group of competitive and wine-loving foodies, this added a little extra fun to our ladies night.
Over the next 3 days, I will post pictures of each course and the wines we enjoyed them with. In the meantime, enjoy these 'prep porn' pictures.
Course 1: Cheese Course, paired by the 'Armenian Princess'
Pecorino Gran Cru, Sottocenere with Truffle, Bucheron and Brie de Meaux -accompanied with: orange fig spread, dried apricots, candies pecans, honey with pine nuts, freshly baked bread and rosemary crackers
