Friday Night Wine Dinner: James Beard Chef Donald Link of Herbsaint in NOLA teams with winemaker Vic Bourassa at the private residence of the Leatherbury's. WOW!
Live oaks, lapping waves, buttery chardonnay, passed hors d'oeurves and live classical guitar during reception. Relaxed yet? Vic Bourassa (immediate left) holds court at one of the four tables. Conversation was lively during this 5-course feast.
Saturday Grand Tasting:
Only on the gulf will a guy drive out to pick you up at your anchored boat, and ferry you to shore to drink wine.
Their shirts reminded me of the sherbert selection at Baskin Robbins. Having fun tasting all day. Couples having fun during the wine seminars.
Sunday Jazz Brunch:
Starting the day with this view of beautiful simple Orange Beach. Since Hurricane Ivan, shores are wide with white sand!
The one sweet table--I honed in on it immediately. Eleven chef's stations, each including wines paired with their creations. After eleven very rich portions you are done eating for the day! Beautiful dishes abound to stir the senses.
