As many of you know, I have been on the Charlotte Wine and Food board since the beginning of time. We have enjoyed so many memorable wine dinners while providing for children’s charities in our region.
Today we are highlighting a dinner in April of 2019. We were honored to have guest pastry chef Ashley Boyd, and wines from Paul Jaboulet.

And for dessert . . . One of the most unexpected and delicious pairings we have ever done. Brioche pudding with seared Foie Gras. 2016 PAUL JABOULET AÎNÉ HERMITAGE ‘LA CHAPELLE’. (Side note – the Fire Department didn’t come but the fire alarms did – note to self do NOT sear that much foie gras inside a home kitchen).
Thanks to Ashley Boyd for thinking outside of the box with us. One for the books for sure. Collaboration is inspiring.
