It has become tradition here at Bridge Creek to host a "Cajun Buffet & Daiquiri Bar" on Fat Tuesday and this year's feast was over the top. We had our biggest turnout ever and the food was fabulous. Dan Gathje, Bridge Creek's Dining Room Manager, chose the perfect wine special to be paired with the great array of food offered on the buffet. The 2005 Melville "Verna's Estate" Viognier from Santa Barbara County, California exhibited a wonderful collection of tropical fruit flavors and subtle spices that showed beautifully against the many seafood-based dishes that were served. The wine has a slightly sweet citrus quality that balanced the spiciness of much of the menu.
In addition to the Viognier, we sold plenty of daiquiris and customers left with big smiles on their faces, promtpting me to wish them a "happy lent." It was the only Fat Tuesday send-off that I could think of.
