A little early, but who wants to go out on a Monday night. Since Leslie is working all weekend, Saturday night was Valentine's Day dinner at home. The menu I devised is below.
To start I went simple with some farmhouse stilton and prosciutto di parma, washed down with Barboursville's Brut sparkling wine.
The main course was pork tenderloing medallions with a cherry-port sauce, accompanied by roasted herbed fingerling potatoes and charred brussels sprouts and broccoli with pancetta. We had a lovely bottle of 2005 Chambolle-Musigny from A. Chopin & Fils, an impulse Burgundy I purchased at Calvert Woodley this past summer.
Dessert was risotto di ciocolato with Cockburn's Ten Year Old Tawny Port.
As far as a decadent dinner, it was all very good, yet restrained, and certainly didn't leave us feeling like beached whales afterwards. Plus there was not long Metro ride or drive home to deal with. A perfect evening!
