Friday nights around here have changed and the upscale dining scene begins to grow in the Daytona Beach area.
Once again I attended another wine dinner and pairing at The Shores Resort & Spa in Daytona Shores.
The wine dinner this evening featured wines from Foley Vineyards presented by Kim Braddock. The meal was prepared by the great team now run by Executive Chef Devin Gainor and Sous Chef Patrick Ransom.

The evening began with a first course of a play on Oysters Rockefeller.  It featured a delicate Lemon crumb topping, Goat Cheese and a Kale Pesto. 
This went perfectly alongside the Roth Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc... 100% of the varietal. The traditional notes of Grapefruit were balanced by hints of Green Melon. A smooth starter for the rest of the dinner.

Our second course arrived as the sounds of a duo playing live acoustic music began to drift through the room. My table facing the ocean I was treated to an incredibly executed Sea Scallop with a Smoky Corn and Calabrian Chili sauce that had just the right combo of sweet, smoke and spice.
Our server Natalie poured the Chardonnay by Foley Johnson. It was perfect reminding one of summertime in a Peach Farm.

Next up was an interesting dish a Porchetta.
A pork roll with a bark like spiced candy and a fermented Salsa Verde.
​This was a sauce the venerable Mark Miller of Southwestern Cuisine fame would deem worthy of his restaurant Coyote Café.
Then the surprise of the night a Pinot Noir. No I mean a real Pinot Noir. The nose the color the balance, pepper and spice and everything nice by Banshee. Yes this Pinot Noir screamed Pinot Noir and maybe the name is just apropos.

Our main course was here. 
Skirt Steak with a Red Chimichurri they flirted with each other like two fiery lovers.
Swooning already I reached for my Dessert a Glass of Chalk Hill Sonoma Red Blend. 6 varietals blended together to wash down the greatest meal all summer long. 
As always outstanding results are achieved by those who break the mold and the culinary staff at The Shores Resort and Spa does just that each and every time.
