What a wonderful night

The setting for the event was gorgeous outside on our loved Rucksack patio. It was decorated with fresh cut locally sourced flower arrangements, twinkling solar powered lights and tea light candles, all with the backdrop of our Rucksack vineyard and setting sun.

Now I am not going to say that our first Rucksack Club Dinner was perfect, because we always try to improve and we will try to make our next dinner even an even greater experience for all our guests. However, I will say that I don’t think there is a single thing that I would change about our event last Saturday evening.

We had a full patio of guests who enjoyed a three course meal. The evening started with a flatbread pizza topped with mozzarella and goat cheese, fresh mushrooms, sautéed onions, arugula, all drizzled with a basaltic reduction and paired with our Non-Vintage GSM. The second course was the famous Bush family recipe for Paella, containing sausage, shrimp and chicken with a garden green beet salad on the side. This second course paired beautifully with three Rucksack wines, our Chenin Blanc, Barbera Rosé and Seco (Portuguese Blend). The evening concluded with a peach and blueberry cobbler topped with homemade whipped cream and paired with our Moscato.

If your mouth is watering as much as mine is recalling the delicious menu, and I was there, then be sure to keep an out for our next Rucksack Club dinner or event. You won’t want to miss it!
