Gala Dinner - A Photo Essay

While I would like the photos to speak for themselves, I suppose a bit of background will help. During out stay in Bordeaux, we were scheduled to have a Gala Dinner at the chateau where we were staying. It was billed as a top-notch meal in one of the best surroundings in the world - a Bordeaux vineyard. Well, the surroundings were pretty amazing. The food - not so much. But in true Roving Foodie fashion, we ate and drank and laughed anyway.


Champagne and hor'dourves (Bugles)

Amuse Bouche of a Scallop and Asparagus with unidentified sauce

Foie Gras Appetizer
Trio of Lamb with "Green Sauce"The Piece d'Resistance Cheese Plate - unidentified cheese with unidentified jelly
Chocolate Dessert

The true highlight of the meal was the wine. The bottles of white and red were particularly good.

Bon appetit!
