Jordan Wine Dinner At GW Fins, September 11

Here's the menu for a rich dinner at GW Fins, the city's best seafood specialist. And an unlikely place for a dinner built around Jordan, a Sonoma winery best known for its big Cabernets. At least one of those will be paired with a fish dish, so we'll test my dictum that all food goes with all wines.

Heirloom Beet and Mache Salad
Whipped orange blossom mascarpone, with toasted pecans and tarragon oil.
2005 Jordan Chardonnay

Alaskan Sable Fish
With vanilla lobster jus, braised endive, fresh gnocchi and crispy leeks
2003 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon

Seared Duck Breast and Leg Confit
Sweet potatoes, balsamic strawberries , veal jus and boudin
2001 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon.

Nieman Ranch Lamb Loin Chop
with potato-garlic bread pudding, a wild mushroom demiglace and pepper jelly
999 Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon

Frozen Georgia Peach Souffle
With raspberry sauce
Jordan 1983 Riviere Russe Late-Harvest

The price, inclusive of tax and tip, is $180. The dinner commences at 6:45 with a cocktail reception, dinner being served at 7:15. They're using the banquet room for this, which only seats around thirty. Reservations at the number below. Validated free parking at Central Parking, a block away on Iberville at Dauphine.

GW Fins. 808 Bienville. 581-3467.
