Crab Tasting Menu 2007
The Rendezvous Inn & Restaurant is pleased to announce their 2007 Crab Tasting Menu for Mendocino County's annual Crab & Wine Days Festival. The tasting menu will be available nightly during Crab & Wine Days, and is offered in addition to our regular menu. | |
A Dungeness Crab Tasting Menu Dungeness Crab Bisque
Described by a noted cookbook author and food writer for the SF Chronicle as 'the best crab soup she'd ever had.' We begin the bisque-making process by picking up the freshest crab shells possible from Noyo Harbor, from which we make a crab fumet. This is what gives the bisque such an intense flavor. Recommended wine: 2004 Navarro Chardonnay Premiere Reserve, Anderson Valley Sweet Crab Ravioli in a Sorrel Sauce
Created for a Crab Festival winemaker's dinner a few years ago, this dish brings out the sweet notes of the crab with sautéed shallots and Madeira. The tartness of our home-grown sorrel provides a wonderful balance. Recommended wine: 2005 Cole Bailey "Sesquipedalian" Sauvignon Blanc, Mendocino Spicy Crab Cakes
Year in and year out, one of the most popular entrees on our menu. These show the versatility of crab and how it can carry other flavors so well, so long as they don't overpower the delicate flavor of the crab. Recommended wine: 2004 Frick Carignane, Mendocino Three course tasting menu: $43.50 With a glass of the suggested wine with each course: $65.00  |
