Chef Montgomery Lau had recently launched his fall/winter menu, Lawrence and I had the pleasure to try several of these fall inspired dishes. Sommelier, Tereza Roux had provided some guidance in selecting the perfect British Columbia wines to pair with these dishes.
1st dish:

Cinnamon Scented Kabocha Squash & Pears
Cinnamon Scented Kabocha Squash & Pears — Charred Radicchio, Endives, Chèvre, Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, Brown Butter Balsamic Vinaigrette such a beautiful fall Salad
2nd dish:

Gem Lettuce Wedge
Gem Lettuce Wedge –Kale & Beets, Shaved Cauliflower, Farm House Cheese, Walnut Crema
3rd dish:

Pan Roasted Sablefish
Pan Roasted Sablefish –Creamy Leek Couscous, Braised Fennel, Mushroom Essence; pairing with the Sandhill 2016 Pinot Blanc and 2014 Syrah for comparisons; I truly appreciated the Syrah as this wine was my favourite with this tender buttery fish.
4th dish:

Slow Roasted Half Rack of Lamb

Foxtrot 2014 Pinot Noir bottle
Slow Roasted Half Rack of Lamb-– Braised lamb, Slow Roasted Onions, Kabocha Squash, Potato Gnocchi, Pine Nut Purée. Paired perfectly with the Foxtrot 2014 Pinot Noir bottle, one of my favourite Pinot Noir wines from the Okanagan.
