Pinot, Pinot, Pinot - Chef's Table Experience

by Cindi Sutter, Founder of The Spirited Table®

Chef's Table choices and experiences are very popular, but this particular table at the Longboat Key Club in Florida was also a respite from the ridiculously long Minnesota winter.

Our improbable view included a table full of people we did not know in an outdoor setting where the temperature sky rocketed to the high 80's and we were happy as can be.

I'll let the images and menu speak for itself, but this was a near perfect moment around the table. I apologize for the gaps in the photos, I must admit I was having too much fun for photos.

Seared Rabbit Saddle

Was my husband's favorite

Seared Halibut

Hand rolls paired with fish beckon a Japanese flair for flavor. 

Boar Chop Cassoulet

Boar's partner of cranberry beans and pork belly could not have been tastier. 

Pepper Wagyu Striploin

Tender and floating in a Pinot syrup reduction, what else is there to say?
