An elaborate dinner of Spanish fare with fantastic French wines. Chef Bertrand Chemel pulled out all the stops for the recent Cassoulet Dinner at 2941 Restaurant. The 3 course dinner was paired perfectly with wine selections from the Sommelier Jonathan Schuyler and Chain Bridge Cellars.

A great way to start any wine dinner, Cava!

First Course:

Jamon Mangalica & Warm Asparagus with olive aioli, paired with Conceito, Contraste, Douro from Portugal (2012)

Second Course:

Spanish Cassoulet with roasted lamb loin, homemade chorizo sausage, saffron alubias paired with two wines: Domaine Cros, Tradition, Monervois, France (2000) & Dom. Saint Etienne, les Molieres, Cote du Rhone, France (2000)

Dessert:

Torta de Aceite with olive oil ice cream, olive confit & Cinnamon & Chocolate Cremeux. There wasn't a wine pairing for this course but Jonathan poured us a special wine; Pedro Ximenez Sherry.

This dinner was fabulous and I look forward to many more dinners at 2941. Next up, a Spice Dinner on March 23rd, 8 courses, $68!!

With their recent renovations and price changes, 2941 isn't just for an anniversary or celebratory dinner anymore. Check out their new menus and visit them tonight!
