Family and Friends celebrating the end of a great meal at Dafno's wine pairing dinner.
but not just any Peanut Butter Cheesecake! Melissa's Cheesecake had a dark chocolate glazed graham cracker crust. It's hard to describe how amazing it tasted
The first course was a puff pastry wrapped brie cheese with Carmel sauce paired with our Vidal Blanc Semi-sweet. Just there right balance of sweet, cream and nutty ripeness.
Some of our friends and family waiting as we explain the wine list and pairings prior to each course.
Just finished our wine pairing dinner at Dafnos Restaurant in Hershey where we paired 7 of Cassel Vineyards Best wines with their delicious appetizers, salads, soups, entrees and dessert. As you can see from the pictures everyone was very happy with each course preceded by an explanation of the wine and the pairing. We tried to make it very informal and fun without going into detail about the technical aspects of wine pairing. We had such a great time. The price was $50 dollars and in the 2 hour dinner I can safely say nobody went away hungry, thirsty or unhappy.
The final course was just amazing with a chocolate, peanut butter cheesecake and our Chocolate Port. The Chocolate Port was our first wine to sell out this year and promises to be one of the most popular choices for next year. It takes 2 years to make each batch and 2 years ago we never expected this type of demand. Fans have enjoyed it in many ways as a syrup over ice cream, an accompaniment to a great cigar, over and with cheesecake and as a dessert standing alone. In my opinion, it is one of the best wines and a perfect way to end a perfect meal. Thanks to all our friends and fans for the support you've given us this year. We plan to close on Dec. 15 but will open again with our 2012 vintage in May.
