Andeluna Cellars: Lunch Heaven

We loved the Andeluna Cellars lunch experience so much I decided it deserved it’s own blog post.

The setting is an open kitchen.

And the view from right outside the kitchen.

 It looks like rain but it never came.

 The menu included six courses and four wine pairings.  The great part of being at a fancy fixed price dinner at a winery is that they are not shy about refilling your glass.

1st Course paired with Andeluna Torrontes 2011.

Second Course, those are a type of beans that almost look like peas, breaded trout and rice croquette.

The Andeluna Reserve Chardonnay 2006 that came with the second course is officially my favorite Chardonnay ever.  I normally do not prefer Chardonnay but this was great.

Paty talked to them about every course.  The chefs were very friendly.

Third Course, Andeluna Reserve Malbec 2009 and pasta with tomatoes and parma.

 

This meat dish and also known as the fourth course was paired with the Andeluna Grand Reserve Bordeaux style blend.  It was a mouthful and went perfectly with the meat.

A palette cleansing drink as the 5^th course.  The official wine flights were over by now, so I switched back to the Chardonnay while Paty continued with more Malbec.

Desert.

The entire cost for two including wine and a tour of the winery after dinner was ARG 540 pesos or about $125US including taxes plus tip.  A bargain.
