A little Rose...
A few cooking demos...
Celebrated chefs like Mark Peel of L.A.'s vaunted Campanile showcasing innovative cuisine...
The 2012 Palm Desert Food & Wine Festival had it all, colorful pours included.
I thought I'd died and gone to carnivor heaven when I discovered this little gem, easily my favorite that day...venison neck croquette with huckleberry mustard, cocoa coffee crumble, pickled Fresno chiles, and crispy shallot.
I paired this meat-lovers small bite with a 2009 Hall Cabernet. Big fruit and even bigger tannins tamed the game...and made me want to take up hunting...especially after I met the culinary brain responsible for this delectable creation; Chris Crary, Chef de Cuisine of Whist Resuarant inside the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica. He's got game, for sure!
