Kyle and I arrived at Greenwood Winery & Bistro on a sunny Saturday evening and we were immediately greeted and seated in the Bar area with a view of the grape vines and fire pit. Since we were at a winery we decided to split a flight so that we could sample several vintages. With so many great options to choose from we asked our friendly and informative server, Gretchen, for suggestions and went from there! We tried the Seyval Blanc (a little and crisp white with attractive aromas of apricots, peaches and nectarines, R.S. 1%), Vidal Blanc (a slightly sweet and light white with a fruity finish and sweet grapefruit and pineapple aromas R.S. 1.6%), Baco Noir (A deeply pigmented wine, fruit-forward, with aromas of black fruits and caramel R.S. .3%), and Perplexity 2013 (an complex yet refreshing red with a harmony of flavors including hints of blueberry, black cherry, spices, chocolate and vanilla. R.S. 08%.) Either we made great selections or, more likely, every wine at Greenwood Winery is delightful because we enjoyed ever sip! We started our meal with Greenwood Greens, their take on a CNY favorite made with escarole, hot cherry peppers, large pieces pancetta and topped with bread crumbs and aged parmesan. This dish has the perfect balance of flavor and spice and it is sure to please and “Greens” lover! We had a hard time deciding on entrees but we really wanted to make sure we tried dishes that incorporated their wine. I decided on Parker’s Pasta, a large portion of Cheese tortellini, sautéed shrimp, baby spinach, and grape tomatoes finished in a butter, lemon and garlic, Greenwood Chardonnay sauce. This dish was not only stunning to look at with all of the colorful ingredients but it was absolutely scrumptious. Kyle had his mind made up on the Barnyard Steak (A 12 oz. choice NY Strip Steak, pan seared and served atop assorted hot and sweet peppers, drizzled with our own Baco Noir demi glaze) until he heard they had a Prime Rib Special. The Prime Rib was cooked perfectly and accompanied by a beautiful medley of fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes. Kyle, a true meat and potato aficionado, said they were possibly the best mashed potatoes he had ever had! At this point we had to-go boxes but we absolutely could not pass on the desserts that were on display. Kyle decided on a decadent peanut butter and chocolate cake and I decided on a chocolate confection filled with vanilla and chocolate mousse. Both desserts were almost too pretty to eat, but we did anyway!
The Parker’s Pasta was not only stunning to look at with all of the colorful ingredients but it was absolutely scrumptious.
