I wish I could have worked this in, Ashley! Sounds like a great dinner.

One dumb question, though ...

SAINT MARCELLIN CHEESE

Why a Loire Valley white in a Rhône dinner?

I'm thinking you are the first to the copper river punch this season! I wasn't even gonna think about the stuff for another two weeks...

I doubt they have it, but I might just pop over to Whole Foods tonight in an attempt to score some.

Good work!

I can't believe I just now read your question Robin! To answer, it was a slight misprint. I used the Sancerre for the reception with a huge selection of cheeses and the heirloom tomato cart. But for the first course I used a Jaboulet Parallel 45 Blanc.
Hope that makes a bit more sense! I wanted to make the dinner very Rhone focused, but I love that particular Sancerre and it makes for a great reception.
I'm sorry you missed that dinner, it was fantastic!
