Inaugural Lunch Food and Wine Menu
It looks like California wine is going to LOVE our soon-to-be-inaugurated President. According to a report from The Chicago Tribune, here is the menu and wine pairings for the First Couple's, first meal:
Seafood stew with lobster, scallops, shrimp and black cod under puff pastry. Served with a 2007 Duckhorn Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc from California's Napa Valley.
Pheasant and duck with sour cherry chutney and molasses sweet potatoes, served with a 2005 Goldeneye Pinot Noir from California's Anderson Valley.
Apple cinnamon sponge cake and sweet cream glace, served with Korbel Natural "Special Inaugural Cuvee" California Champagne.
The menu was designed to feature foods that Lincoln may have eaten at his inaugural lunch, and the all-California wines is obviously meant as a gesture to the American economy in general. Of course, Champagne isn't really Champagne unless it comes from France, but I'll cut the guy some slack. It is his first day, after all.
