This year's Seafood Extravaganza proved to be one the Bozeman Chapter's most successful events ever. Held in a private dining salon at the members' only Riverside Country Club, Executive Chef Greg Short dazzled with an array of five courses featuring fresh seafood flown in directly from Massachusetts and Alaska. The wines selected by cellar master Michael Smith once again complimented each dish perfectly.
Dinner began with a sumptuous Nantucket Sea Scallop Sashimi topped with Osetra Caviar; next up was a mouth-watering Coquille St Jacques Bay Scallops baked in a Sherry Cream Sauce with Mushrooms & Potato Puree, paired with a crisp, classic Domaine Christian Moreau Pere & Fils Chablis Cru Les Clos.
The two main entrees featured Pan Roasted Filet of Alaskan Cod with Herbed Risotto Cake, followed by a Maine Lobster Thermador in a Brandy Cream Terragon & Parmesan Sauce, paired with a Chateau Cos d'Estournel Bordeaux Blanc. Dessert of Chocolate Decadence Pecan Cake ended the fun, paired with a superb Gerard Bertrand Banyuls.
