April 25 – Vineyard Feast at Haak Winery – Santa Fe
Raymond and Gladys Haak greeted guests as they arrived; all were anticipating a
grand feast. The vineyards were lined with sparkling lights which enhanced the
beautiful greenery of the vines. And Jando, a very talented band, provided the
lively flamenco music throughout the evening.
David Reiss, the Executive Chef, started guests off with some wonderful Texas
gulf shrimp appetizers. We then moved to the pavilion where the nicely decorated
dining tables were overlooking the vineyards.
The meal was fit for royalty. Roasted suckling pig, prime rib, purple fingerling
potatoes and baby rainbow carrots were just the beginning. Yellow watermelon
radishes mixed with cherry tomatoes and cucumbers made a unique and delicious
salad, and the black garlic mashed potatoes were superb. And of course, a wide
variety of wines were enjoyed by everyone.
And then, the desserts: Butter cake with a sangria gele’e, pecan and cherry
tartlets, cheesecake with caramel topping and a decadent chocolate buffet served
with the port and madeira wines!
After the wonderful meal guests gathered around the wood burning fire pit for
cheerful socializing, madeira and fine cigars.
Listen in to Talk of the Bay, as we
shared the evening with the other guests.
