The third course will be smoked chicken ravioli with anise-scented jus matched to a Kingsley Grove 2013 Chardonnay, and this will be followed by a fourth course of seared lamb cutlets with pea pesto and truffle butter matched to a Kingsley Grover 2006 Merlot.<\/p>\n

The fifth course will be cider-permeated pork belly with sweet red sauerkraut and seasonal vegetables, accompanied by a Captains Paddock Merlot Mania; and then the evening will conclude with a final course of Peanut Affogato and Cranes Peanut Liqueur.<\/p>\n

Live entertainment will be provided throughout the night by guitarist Julia Quinn.<\/p>\n
