Thanks, Mark. I actually got that news release today, but held off on publishing it because I didn't want to use that giant image, so I asked David to give me the text. And here it is!

Menu
Tapas:
Shaved Woodlands Charcuterie - Pan con Tomate
Smoked trout croquets - Olive oil cured bass
Isaac Fernandez NV Cava Brut Rosé "Biutiufl", Valencia, Spain
89 Points, International Wine Review: "If you like the fresh strawberry flavors of the Grenache grape, you’ll love this sparkler. It shows beautiful (biutiful) Grenache aromas and flavors and a creamy, soft mousse. The wine has enough ripe fruit to make it a good pairing for the Fall meals. Aged on the lees for 9 months
Red Claw and Catfish Zarzuella
orange,fennel and chervil
Las Colinas del Ebro 2014 Garnacha Blanca, Terra Alta, Spain
88 Points, Vinous: Perfumed aromas of dried peach, lemon pith and honey, with a hint of anise coming up with air. Fleshy and dry on the palate, offering intense pit and citrus fruit flavors and a touch of succulent herbs. Finishes dry and chewy, with good focus and spicy cut.
Rabbit, Country Ham and Mushroom Terrine
arugula and almond
Vega Escal 2011, Priorat, Spain
92 Points & "Best Buy", Wine & Spirits Magazine: "Over the last few years, Priorat vintners have been moving toward reds that show a cleaner and clearer expression of the place, rather than emphasizing power. This wine is a good example of the move. A blend of 50 % garnacha, 40% cariñena and 10 % syrah grown in the warm hills of Gratallops, it's filled with lush raspberry and strawberry flavors that reflect the region's sunny, hot days, as well as mineral tones from the soils that bring freshness and depth. It vibrates with energy, supple yet ample."
Stone Cross Farms Ribeye
potato and kale tortilla, Blackberry
Las Colinas del Ebro 2013 Syrah / Garnatxa Negra / Cariñena, Terra Alta, Spain
89 Points, Vinous: "60% Syrah 20% Garnatxa Negra 20% Cariñena. Smoky dark berry, cherry and floral aromas are lifted by a spicy nuance. The spicy note sharpens the juicy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors, with a smoky element emerging with aeration. I’d have guessed that there was more syrah in here. Finishes on a youthfully tannic note, with good energy and resonating spiciness.”
Bittersweet Chocolate Torta
with dulce de leche
Domaine Pouderoux 2011 Maury, Roussillon, France
The MOST AMAZING wine for Chocolate. Rich and sweert with flavors of xassis, fig, prune, black cherry, and hints of herbaceous spice. Robert Pouderoux's family have been making wine in Maury for nearly 200 years and the experience shines through in this great example of a fortified red from Roussillon.
