Farm Dinner Number 4!


Doubletree Hotel Sonoma Wine Country, CA - Bacchus

On June 3rd we had our 4th Farm Dinner at Bacchus Restaurant in Rohnert Park.  The restaurant is part of the Doubletree by Hilton.  The dinner fell during the late season rainstorms we had so we were inside for the evening.  The night started out with wine tasting and hors d'oeuvres that included various cheeses two kinds of meatballs and fresh organic cherries.  Around 7:00 we moved into the beautiful Bacchus dining room.  The first course was a delicious spinach salad with walnuts, beets, and cheese.  Next was the main course of veal from Rossotti Ranch on top of gnocchi.  Gnocchi are small, soft dumplings made from flour and potatoes; they were amazing! Accompanying the main course were sautéed 

Gnocchi
veggies (from our farm of course!) Our veggies are always delicious but that night they were phenomenal.  For dessert there was cinnamon gelato and cherry clafoutis.  Clafoutis is a French dish in which cherries are arranged in a buttered pan and then covered in a flan-like batter.  It was nice to see the fresh cherries from earlier make another appearance and to two desserts complimented each other wonderfully.  Overall it was a fabulous evening and we can’t wait until the next one!
