...With candied Marcona almonds, celery hearts, and Minus-8 vinaigrette.
Fluffy rilettes of goat cheese whipped into a beyond-creamy state, juxtaposed with earthy roasted beets and crisp celery heart salad, and drizzled with vinaigrette. And not just any vinaigrette. The “Minus-8” dressing is made with vinegar that in turn is made from ice-wine grapes (according to Ken, the vinegar is “smooth and delicious enough to drink straight.”) Minus 8 (degrees Celcius) is the temperature at which ice wine grapes are harvested in Canada. If you’re growing weary of heavy winter fare, this appetizer is a nice, light way to start a meal. We like to pair it with Mercedes Eguren 2008 Sauvignon Blanc.
