Dinner w/Chateaunuef du Pape

[Hal]

I'm planning to open a vertical of Chateaunuef du Pape "Les Cailloux" '97, '98 and '99 for a small dinner party.

Any of you "foodies" have suggestions for the menu?

[Bucko]

Carole's forty fart bistro chicken is a heavenly match. We have it at least once a month.

[Hal]

Bucko, thanks for the prompt reply.
Forgive my cluelessness, but I'm not familiar with this dish. I have a feeling I'm not going to find it Mastering the Art of French Cooking or Larousse Gastronomique. I would love to try it if you would be kind enough to point me to the recipe.

Lamb kebabs that people could eat off the stick while sipping CDP sounds like fun.

[Bucko]

LOL! Yeah, I'll try to remember to post the receipe. It has 40 cloves of garlic in it, thus the nickname......

[Hal]

Bucko, the forty clove of garlic chicken is certainly something I can deal with. Never mind about the recipe, I'll wing it. Innkeeper, lamb is one of our favorites and also a good suggestion. A braised shank might has more appeal for me than the kebabs.
I think I've got the right direction.
Thank you both for the tips.
This event won't happen for a few weeks, but until then, there's a lot of wine out there to taste.

I'd go with the lamb, and add the forty cloves to it...

[Hal]

OK. Braised lamb shank with 40 cloves of garlic.

[Thomas]

One of my favorite foods...
