Holiday Blessings
$200 per person
Private Palate Supper Club presents Holiday Blessings, Thursday, December 10, 2026 · 5:30 PM
Our first supper club dinner welcomes the holiday season with an intimate five-course evening of late-harvest flavors, refined technique, and thoughtfully paired wines. The night opens with “Nibbles & Neighbors” and an amuse-bouche of cider-glazed pork medallion with apple-fennel slaw and crisp fried sage. It continues with handcrafted lobster ravioli in a rich bisque reduction, followed by a bright citrus and radicchio salad with shaved pear, candied walnuts, and whipped goat cheese. The centerpiece is a grilled filet mignon crowned with bone marrow–tarragon butter and served with golden fondant potatoes. We close with an Holiday Affogato: house-made pumpkin ice cream finished with espresso and warm Baileys Pumpkin Spice, served with handcrafted pumpkin-chocolate truffles. Each course is paired with a selected wine, from a crisp Dr. Loosen Riesling to a bold Matchbook Cabernet Sauvignon. Come in from the cold and gather around a warm table.
