Sitting outside on the patio with a friend at my new favorite restaurant, Bistro La Petite France in Granite Bay, sipping on my new favorite, local, summer wine...Calotte Blanc from Le Casque winery in Amador County!
The wine--
Nose of honey and peaches with a palate of fresh stone fruit, slightly sweet with lovely acidity. LOVE IT!
The food--
Marcella and I split the Halibut in Parchment and the Stuffed Fillet of Sole with Smoked Salmon Mouse, two different ways to prepare fish, both amazing.
The pairing--
Worked! The fruitiness and slight sweetness of the wine complimented the lightness of the fish and went well with the richness of the sauce on the sole.
It's worth making the drive...
