This dinner highlights California’s Central Coast which runs from Monterey to Santa Barbara. Central Coast produces great wines – many of them are blends of Rhone grape verities, which pair well with these recipes. This is rustic, wine-friendly, and wine-inclusive cuisine. Crab Cakes with Gingered Grapefruit & Avocado; Mixed Citrus Salad with Fennel and Dates; Prosciutto-Wrapped Wild Salmon with Pistachio-Brown Butter Vinaigrette; Goat-Cheesy Tarragon Mashed Potatoes; Zinfandel-Poached Pear Tart with Almond Crust & Frangipane
