✨ Déjeuner et Vin with Chef Tobias Boutilier ✨
Join us for a French-inspired midday feast where vineyard elegance meets farm-to-table artistry. Chef Tobias Boutilier of Starlight Farm & Café will craft a seasonal menu designed to pair beautifully with Jones von Drehle wines. A true celebration of food, wine, and place.
The Menu
Gathering Taste
North Carolina shrimp salad with Old Bay fried saltines.
Blanc de Blanc 2023. Our sparkling wine, produced by méthode champenoise. Dry, crisp, and bubbly!
Salad Course
Cabbage salad, fresh herbs, crispy country ham, honey-lemon dressing and chèvre.
Tryst & Twyne 2024. A new release of our white blend. Courbu Blanc, Gros Manseng, and Petit Manseng create this one of a kind, balanced, crisp and fruit-laden wine.
First Course
North Carolina Fresh Oysters, layered with bourbon crème sauce with wilted collards and garlic toast
Petit Manseng 2023. New Release. One of JvD’s signature wines. Renowned for its fullness, brisk acid, and wonderful fruit filled aromas. Consummate seafood wine wrapping its assertive presence around cream and butter sauces.
Intermezzo
A blue cheese mousse, with mountain apples and a Tempranillo reduction.
Tempranillo 2022. New Release. While our lightest red wine, it has intriguing aromatics and delightful fruit, this wine has created its own devoted following.
The Main Course
Duck stroganoff, with shitake mushrooms, egg noodles, crispy duck skin.
Petit Verdot 2019. Rich, dark, and mysterious. Each sip beckons another. Proud to bring a wine of this depth to North Carolina. A grape that grows beautifully in our rocky, clay soil at high elevations.
And for Dessert…
A slice of Heritage House chocolate cake with marmalade.
Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2015. Hard to follow the Petit Verdot, but we reached into our library to present this incredible wine as a great finish to a great day. Deep, dark cherries wrapped in oak tinged smoothness. Relax and enjoy.
