This Weeks Wine: Migration

Created as a sister label in 2001, Migration is the newest expression of Goldeneye's commitment to Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. With a name chosen to represent change and movement, Migration offers winemaker Zach Rasmuson greater creativity and flexibility as he blends his distinctive Anderson Valley wines.


Located in the heart of Mendocino County, Anderson Valley traces a northwest path from the redwoods to the Pacific. The region's proximity to the coast creates a climate distinguished by low-lying ocean fog that evolves into long, mildly cool days perfect for the cultivation of Pinot Noir.

This Weeks News and Reviews

 

River Oaks Restaurant was recently featured in two articles. Below is a link to the Go Memphis article.

 

River Oaks Brings Touch of Classy Dining Where You Get Your Just Desserts

My eyes were closed, but I could feel other eyes on me. Didn't matter -- I was fully focused on the ambrosia just an inch or two beneath my nose.

 

Complex. Lush. Earthy but refined. Light notes of vanilla, the most subtle dark berry -- a notion, really, not a true scent. Heat. Definitely heat. I could smell it and feel it, because it wasn't a glass of wine in my hand. It was a spoonful of River Oaks' Godiva chocolate souffle.

Where We Are Where We're Going

It has been a very busy summer for River Oaks: The James Beard Dinner at River Oaks Restaurant on July 16th was a smashing success. August was incredible with our Farmers Market Dinner on the 17th. September was Huey Lewis, Rick Springfield and the Blues Ball, all themed with music.

 

We catered Rick Springfield's pre concert meal, and hordes of his rabid fans showed up. The Huey Lewis Concert was a blast, I was in the VIP tent and wow were they hungry! We served 1200 people in about an hour, and they ate like it was thier last meal. The music was great! Also, don't forget we'll be catering the Blues Ball on Saturday the 27th.
