$\"Liz&JanBefore\"$ <\/a>Miguel de Cervantes beloved literary tale “Man from La Mancha”<\/em> revealed new significance, and romance, on this summer evening at ChezHelvetica. With Spain as the exciting accent of this anniversary celebration, we toasted with Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Noirs<\/em> along with Green and Manzanillo Olives, Almonds\u00a0and Salmon Ahumado con Queso Fresco<\/em>\u00a0Montaditos<\/em> (Smoked Salmon with Cream Cheese) and Honey Truffle bites. Tyler Florence’s warm\u00a0Roasted Tomato Soup<\/a>\u00a0opened the meal with rich, savory flavors – Early Girl and Cherry Tomatoes, Garlic, Onion and Basil. The soup was accompanied by delicious\u00a0Manchego<\/em>, so named for Spain’s famed cheese made from the milk of sheep grazing the country’s La Mancha region. Pearl white corn kernels had fallen weightlessly into a bundt pan when making the featured entr\u00e9e, a Salad of Grilled Chicken and Corn, Avocado and Baby Spinach, dressed with a Garlic and $\"Liz&Jan$ <\/a>Rosemary-infused Vinaigrette (from Real Simple<\/em><\/a>), paired with velvety Etude Pinot Noir<\/em>. Like windmills spinning bliss, Neiman Marcus Delicate Lemon Squares, made with Meyer Lemons and crowned with Yellow Raspberries, created\u00a0the perfect conclusion for “Life Happily Ever After, not an Impossible Dream!”<\/em> (Muchas Gracias<\/em> to the Fillmore and VA Farmers Markets, Trader Joe’s and Safeway as the food and beverage sources for this meal.)<\/p>\n
