The Lineup:
Hospitality Wine: JB Neufeld Red Wine
You’ll be greeted with a vibrant red that sets the tone for the evening — approachable, fruit-forward and easy to enjoy.
JB Neufeld “Cecilia” Bordeaux Blanc
Arancello Cured Hamachi · Blood Orange · Lemon Balm Compressed Asian Pear
Fresh. Electric. Layered. The “Cecilia” Bordeaux Blanc dances between citrus brightness and silky texture. Paired with arancello-cured hamachi and pops of blood orange, this course is a masterclass in balance. The lemon balm and Asian pear amplify the wine’s aromatics, making every bite-and-sip combo absolutely sing.
JB Neufeld Cabernet Franc
Rosti · Crème Fraîche · Shiso · Fish Roe · Chives
This Cabernet Franc brings depth and finesse — herbaceous lift, polished tannins, and a core of dark fruit. The crispy rosti and crème fraîche offer richness, while shiso and chives echo the wine’s green, savory edges. A little pop of fish roe? Pure texture magic.
JB Neufeld “Ciel du Cheval” Cabernet Sauvignon
Venison · Blackberry-Infused Bordelaise · Fennel Mirepoix Cowpea Cake
Now we turn up the volume. “Ciel du Cheval” is bold, structured and utterly captivating. Think blackberry, graphite, and power wrapped in elegance. Paired with tender venison and a blackberry-infused Bordelaise, this is Washington Cabernet
at its finest — layered, expressive, and unforgettable.
JB Neufeld “Yakima Valley” Cabernet Sauvignon
Goat Cheese Tarte · Burnt Apple · Dates · Rosemary Syrup
We close with a Cabernet Sauvignon that showcases the beauty of Yakima Valley fruit — rich yet refined. The creamy goat cheese, caramelized apple, and rosemary syrup highlight the wine’s depth and subtle savory notes. It’s a finale that lingers long after the last sip.
