Christmas Eve Wine Flight


My family had the BEST Christmas Eve this year.
Together my mom and I planned an amazing four course food and wine flight.
It was fun, beautiful, delicious and so enjoyable.

The details:
4 rooms/tablescapes
4 wine pairings (2 white, 2 red)
4 mini courses
  1. Strawberry & Goat Cheese Bruschetta
  2. Crab Cakes with Spicy aioli
  3. Herb Roasted Lamb Chops with Red Wine Reduction
  4. Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Mousse & Dark Chocolate Covered Pomegranate Seeds
I did all of the cooking and HAD A BLAST. It was a lot of work, but so worth it. Everything turned out perfectly!! Mom picked the wines and did all of the decorating for the four tables/rooms. She even found wine-themed napkins that had trivia questions on each one for a fun, interactive twist and printed out details describing each wine we were tasting! We spent all evening eating, tasting and having fun.
I will be posting more pictures and recipes for each course this week.
Major deliciousness. Major.
