Private Pairings
Just so you know, in addition to our Farm tours and tastings by appointment,
we can arrange a special private wine and food pairing for you with up to 16 participants.
If such an intimate occasion appeals to you, we will be more than happy
to personally discuss your options here at Westbrook Wine Farm vineyard and winery.
The following is an example of the possibilities:
Weather permitting, we will be starting in the vineyard so when you arrive
please drive up to the vineyard parking area by the picnic tables.
Although we practice "no till" farming it is still a good idea
for folks to not wear open toed or high heel footwear.
You may wish to refer all guests to our web site
www.westbrookwinefarm.com
for a look at us and our Bucolic location.
No minors and no smoking permitted.
We are pleased to present our wines to you
paired with right-sized delicacies created by our artisan Chef, Kristin Burdick.
While walking the vineyard we will partake in a cold glass of our sassy
Uber Rhenish Dry Riesling paired with seared scallops, honey goat cheese,
crisp prosciutto and balsamic drizzle atop artisan toast finished with lemon thyme.
After our brief viticultural trek, we will repair to the cool sanctum of the wine cellar
where we will begin with our barrel fermented and sur lie aged Viognier/Valdiguie
paired with Shrimp Ceviche and English pea purée atop a homemade potato chip
finished with oregano.
Following these first two white wines will be our new co-fermented Blanc de Noir
we call Point Blanc from grapes grown entirely at Love Ranch Vineyard in Coarsegold.
With it you will enjoy D'anjou pears, Humboldt fog bleu cheese and toasted walnuts
atop water crackers finished with chive.
Your first red wine will be our new Malbec Saint Michael which will exhibit
its heady perfume
and spicy flavors in concert with Shredded Cornish game hen
and smoked Gouda with a black cherry/cognac drizzle atop artisan toast finished with tarragon.
A very special Clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon grown at over 3000 feet in elevation
in Mariposa County will steal your attention, and perhaps your heart
when tasted with Chef Burdick's Thai marinated - thinly sliced sirloin in cucumber cups.
Never to leave your tasting experience unfinished, it will be a Fait Accompli 2007 "Renaissance" in the decadent company of a dark chocolate and fresh strawberry torte.
We are looking forward to your visit
