Hi All,
Looking for some input here. Once a year, my wife and I host a "wine" dinner with our friends (There are actually 6 couples, and there's a dinner usually about every 2 months). The whole point is to get together, and enjoy a meal that's paired with matching drinks (usually, but not always wine).
In the past, we've done down home American, and last year was eastern European. This year, we've settled on kind of a smokehouse dinner (Foods that are grilled or smoked are fine).
Currently we're planning it as follows:
We're also still debating sides, although I keep pulling for grilled asparagus, if we can get it.
Thanks!
John

Currently we're planning it as follows:
- Goodies while people show up - smoked salmon pate, cheese, crakers, etc.
- Soup - smoked onion soup (a twist on french onion)
- Lite course
- Main course - maybe the smoked beef tenderloin from the virtual webber bullet site http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/beeftenderloin1.html
- Desert - probably some sort of cobbler and ice cream
We're also still debating sides, although I keep pulling for grilled asparagus, if we can get it.
Thanks!
