Such was the case on a recent visit to celebrate a girlfriend’s milestone 50th birthday. My friend and I both opted for the signature Pali Wine Co. Flight to indulge in tastings of Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays inspired by Burgundian wines while the men leaned into the Tower 15 Winery Flight defined by bold, small-lot wines from family-owned Central Coast vineyards.
Our selections were perfectly paired with a variety of shareable dishes including the Solid Oak Sampler, a family-style board that arrived with a trio of meats, cheeses and “all the things” that make a charcuterie fun. The fresh baked bread with homemade wine butter was fragrantly flavorful, as was the warm artichoke dip enhanced with goat cheese, arugula, onions and market veggies.
For something a bit heartier, the mushroom flatbread was delish – topped with carmelized mushrooms, roasted mushrooms, figs, drunken goat cheese, arugula and olive oil.
For a decidely different sweet treat, try the warm poached pear (accompanied by vanilla bean gelato, cinnamon crunchies and warm wine caramel) or the Strawberries “N Cream with cacao nib crumble, strawberry jam, mint and whipped cheesecake.
