Aqua Blue Wine Dinner

I like Aqua Blue. I continually place it in my Favorite Restaurants list for their consistently good food and great service. My friend and I came back Wednesday night to try out their Winter Harvest Wine Dinner. They have monthly wine dinners where you get a 4-course meal with fine wine pairings all for $45 per person. It’s a good deal.

Our first course was a Tropical maki made with red tuna, crab, avocado, masago, mango, kiwi, and mandarin orange. The accompanying Adami prosecco from Italy was really good. In fact, it was my favorite wine of the evening. It was crisp yet smooth.

The Muscovy Duck Breast salad was fantastic. Clearly, one of the best duck salads I’ve had. The duck was tender, fresh, and very flavorful. Hoisin is not my favorite seasoning but the chef made it so smooth tasting that there was only a slight hint of it. The salad also had sweet roasted pecans, pear slices, and goat cheese and slightly doused with cranberry vinaigrette. I loved it. It came with Bouchaine pinot noir that was a little too dry for my taste. I didn’t like drinking it by itself but paired with the salad, it was a good combination.

For the main entree, we had a Beef Roulade stuffed with sundried tomatoes, mushroom duxcell, spinach, butterklase cheese on a bed of lentils then finished off with a black truffle glaze. It was a heavy dish and needed a cabernet sauvignon (Edge – Napa Valley) to ease off the filling taste. A good choice of entree for the wine.

Dessert came in a Chambord-infused dark chocolate mousse bombe topped with toasted coconut and accompanied by fresh whipped cream, and berry coulis. It was paired with a zin from Michael Davis. It was another great combination and a perfect ending to a wonderful wine-paired meal.

This monthly wine dinner event is a steal at $45. I highly recommend it. Call the restaurant for next month’s schedule and menu.
