I recently had the pleasure of joining about 12 other lucky souls who had the chance to taste 2 of Fleming's Steakhouse new programs and their new release of their own wine 46 Diamonds. We were hosted by Scottsdale's Operating Partner Michael Head who guided us through our experience. Here is what Flemings has to offer.
We were greeted with a new cocktail just in time for the holidays The Merry Maker's is made with Maker's Mark bourbon and Chambord then shaken with orange, pomegranate & cranberry juices. Quite a tasty cocktail and as one guest said "I don't like bourbon, but I really like this".
We then proceeded to sample the Fall Prix Fixe menu which consists of
Your choice of Oysters Rockefeller or Autumn Salad for appetizer then for an entree your choice of Veal Osso Bucco or Cioppino. For dessert you get a slice of Dark Chocolate Cheesecake. All were very good and everybody enjoyed what was tasted so far. I really enjoyed the Oysters Rockefeller. The Prix Fixe menu costs $39.95 per person and runs through Jan. 3 2011.
We then moved on to The Memorable Meal for Two which is The Cellar Master's Filet & Maine Lobster Tail. You start with a Caesar Salad with a King Crab Crostini followed by Filet Mignon & Maine Lobster Tail and a side of Maple roasted baby carrots. For dessert you're served Carrot Cake with Dark Rum Caramel. I'm not a big carrot cake fan, but this may have changed my mind. All for $99 for 2 dinners. This runs through Dec. 15 2010 so hurry and reserve this soon.
We were also treated to the new release of Fleming's own wine Forty Six 46 Diamonds. This years bottling is a collaboration with Fleming's Director of Wine Marian Jansen op de Haar & Schug winery team of Sonoma County. This Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot & Malbec from very reputable vineyards in the Sonoma Valley.It is medium bodied with with good tannins and fruit and showed a very elegant, long finish. A nice compliment to any meal you may be enjoying. Only 388 cases were made of this and can be had by the glass for $16.50 or $65 for a bottle.
Make reservations soon for these limited time specials and even more limited wine.
