Maple & Ash

On October 22, Maple &amp; Ash will welcome <a href="https://inglenook.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Inglenook</a>to the Superette at the Seaport for an evening of perfect pairings. Established in 1879 in the heart of Napa Valley, Inglenook’s roots are deeply embedded in the rich soils of the Rutherford Bench, a land famed for its exceptional terroir, where climate and soil harmonize to produce grapes of unparalleled quality.
Hosted by Jonathan Tyler, associate winemaker at Inglenook, and Maple &amp; Ash executive chef Jorge Campos, the evening will begin with a reception of passed bites (salmon rillette tart; grilled beet skewers with cotija and salsa macha) paired with Inglenook’s sauvignon blanc, a light and fresh wine but with salinity of a Bordeaux white. Guests will then be seated for the main event, a four-course paired showcase featuring the best of land, sea and vine.
The first course is a seafood bisque brimming with New England lobster, scallops, mussels and striped bass that will be served alongside Inglenook’s Blancaneaux, a blend of three estate-grown white Rhône varieties. The next course pairs ragu di Agnello (braised lamb with vadouvan and radiatori) with Inglenook 1882, a red wine that pays tribute to the year founder Gustave Niebaum produced his first vintage. 
The main course is a wood-fired grilled New York Strip steak with roasted honey patch squash, fine herbs and espagnole matched with the Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. The final course pairs Inglenook’s white zinfandel with a “French Silk” dessert of bittersweet chocolate, black currant and diplomat cream.
