Having shamefully never eaten white truffles before (shame, shame, shame on me!!!) I of course jumped at an invitation to a white truffle lunch! At the mere mention of it I knew this would be an event worth writing about but after being there and experiencing the fungus in all of its glory I have decided to do this one in sections. So now, in order to torture and tantalize you all at once, I shall relay the menu for that fated day: NV Jaques Selosse Brut Grand Cru Blanc de Blanc to start. Hot and Cold Parmesan, Medjool Date and Almond shot served with a 99' Philipponnat Clos de Goisses. Agnolotto with braised brisket, peas, mint and white truffle served with an 04' Marengo Barolo Bricco Viole. Frisee salad with lemon juice and warm brioche. Ravioli with farm fresh egg, cauliflower puree and white truffle served with an 01' Scavino Barolo Rocche dell Annunziata. Braised veal breast with roasted brussle sprouts served with my boyfriend, Giorgio Rivetti's, 00' &04' La Spinetta Barolo Campe and his fucking rock solid 97' Galina Barbaresco. White truffle panna cotta with persimmon to finish. Other wines tasted that day - 05' La Spinetta Barbaresco Gallina, 98' Sandrone BaroloLe Vigne, and a 71' Giacomo Conterno Vino Barolo. To be continued... Jealous much!
