ignore
Quoted message said:quite blissfully so far this year. Here's my tentative menu:
Artichokes with Lemon-Garlic Butter
(Riesling)Baby Greens with Grapefruit Sections and Mirin Vinaigrette
Roasted Lamb and Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic
Green Peas with Mint and Butter
Walnut-Olive Focaccia
(Bordeaux)Strawberry [censored]
Some issues remain, and I hereby solicit opinions:
1. Rack of lamb or leg of lamb? There will be six adults eating. Cost

My vote...rack of lamb, flavor and what is always the delicious
topping. And I suspect that rack of lamb is more of a treat to some
than leg of lamb.

2. My guests aren't all that big on coffee. What would you want to
drink
Quoted message said:with the strawberry [censored]? (We'll be eating around 3:30 PM.)
A sweet champagne or a nice Sauternes?
4. I'm not all that sure about the Bordeaux with the main course. Any

A good French burgundy, a Chambertin?
Your menu sounds delicious. Lucky guests.
