Crown Colony Food & Wine Menu

08.24.11

Crown Colony is a beautiful Country Club in East Texas. Surrounded by tall pine trees, it boasts a beautiful golf course that is always ranked with top courses and as having tough holes. At this club we worked with the chef to do a dinner featuring Messina Hof Vintage House dishes and Messina Hof Wine.

First Course
Neptune Crabcakes
Fresh crab sautéed with sweet shallots and blended with Japanese toasted bread crumbs wrapped in smoked salmon and roasted in olive oil. Finished with ah lemon caper sauce.
Served with Messina Hof Pinot Grigio

Second Course
Ginger Pumpkin Soup
A delightfully spicy soup of fresh ginger root and creamy pumpkin.
Served with Messina Hof Gewurztraminer

Third Course
Bacon wrapped Filet with Jumbo Shrimp
Served over a wild mushroom demi glace and topped with fresh herb butter
Served with Messina Hof Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Fourth Course
Rosemary Cheesecake
A medley of sweet cream cheese, goat cheese, and fresh rosemary baked in a graham cracker and pine nut crust.
Served with Messina Hof Shiraz

May favorite WOW of this dinner was serving a Shiraz with dessert. The Rosemary Cheesecake was a staple at Messina Hof in the early 2000’s at the Vintage House and at our Winebar. It was sweet and savory and perfectly paired with big reds.
