Serve with fresh ripe strawberries.

SHORTCUTS:

  • Buy a Weiss sorbet (e.g. summer berry, lychee or lemon sorbet, or even their frozen yoghurt range) and serve with fresh local organic strawberries.
  • Decoration ~ use flavour pearls/fruit caviar for decoration ~our local IGA stocks them.

  • Ricotta Panna Cotta and Rhubarb Jelly

    Our rhubarb is growing well now in spring so it's a treat to use it. 

    Serve with Bloodwood 2013 Silk Purse

    This dessert is too rich for our just released 2015 dessert wine. But if you still have some 2013 Silk Purse it has a similar palate weight needed to balance this dessert.

  • Virgo Tea and Coffee

    Serve tea and coffee with fine dark chocolate, Virgo's favourite.

    Just one piece of chocolate each (or pretend to forget to serve them altogether ~ your guests will be the better for it in the long run; it's a good thing Virgo's know what's best for themselves, and for everyone else as well).

    Also by now the table and kitchen should be perfectly spotless and sterile, for your guests' enjoyment and relaxation, not because you want them to leave yet!
