Sommelier’s Suggestion

Chef/Owner Mark Kiffin’s
Signature Sweetbreads and Foie Gras Appetizer
Can be accompanied by a glass of its classic pairing, Sauternes. Hints of lavender & honey drizzled over ripe apricot in balance with a mouthwatering acidity make this dazzling sweet white wine enhance the flavors in the dish.

La Chapelle de Lafaurie-Peyraguey, 2001, $15
