This new series of one-off winemaker dinners from Kirkland's intentionally uncapped lakeside eatery takes place the third Sunday of every month, are limited to a dozen people, and're each held at a unique/unusual location they keep secret until 24hrs before chow time; the only thing the meals have in common is five courses of extravagant vittles served on a communal table constructed from wine barrels and recovered doors, a description that pretty much rules out Jim Morrison. The always-different larder line-ups are built around mains ranging from a caramelized grape/ yellowfoot mushroom Roasted Alaskan Halibut; to Crispy Porchetta from a slow-smoked whole hog served w/ cauliflower puree & beehive cheddar, to a Kurobuta Berkshire Pork Cheek Crespelle (Italian-style crepe) abetted by apple choucroute, truffle chestnut puree & saba, but not Shabba, as that's usually kind of Rank(s). They also do desserts (Dark Chocolate Pudding Cake w/ mascarpone & candied orange) and starters like a hazelnut/ cocoa nibs Artisan Sonoma Foie Gras Mousse, and rolled duck in smoked duck broth that's stuffed w/ goose confit, topped w/ shaved foie gras and called Duck, Duck, Goose, also what Tom Cruise tells Anthony Edwards in that deleted Top Gun scene where a cop arrives at the spot in the woods where they were "parking".
