Winter Dinner 2007-a culinary and social triumph!
On a chilly winter's weekend members of the Top of the Hill Club travelled to The Hunter with partners and friends to make new friends, share a laugh and enjoy great food matched with Peacock Hill wines. Our Winter Dinner evening began with canapés and drinks around a cosy fire....

Canapés

Zucchini Blinis with Smoked Salmon, Roasted Eschallot & Whipped Mascarpone
Crostinis of Roasted Mushroom and Binnorie Dairy Labna

We then retired to a private room to be entertained by George's unique style of presentation in which he outlined the wines, why they were matched to each course and also fielded questions/comments throughout the evening.
