Well it was my beautiful wife’s birthday and that called for a special dinner. Since one of her favorite foods is lobster tail (and Wegman’s happened to have a couple of them) we decided on that as the main course. Unfortunately the tails were a little on the small size so we supplemented them with some scallops. Combined with baked potatoes and roasted broccoli and we had my wife’s perfect birthday dinner.
Perhaps even more surprising was that we paired the dinner with a WHITE wine. As it turned out, the Chateau St Jean Fume Blanc was an extraordinary pairing. The nose and taste showed fresh pineapple and lemons which complimented the seafood excellently. In fact, we decided that this was one of the best pairings we have EVER had. It is definitely recommended … although I can’t say it went with the chocolate very well (make note that for my birthday we need red wine for dessert).
