A Letter from Chef Bruce |
 |
|
Spring—the re-awakening of the earth here in New England. From the smell of boiling maple sap to the first sprouting of the wild fiddleheads along the flood plains of our larger rivers, spring in our area provides us with many resources from which to create flavorful dishes unique to our region. I love the green colors associated with this time of year and like to create dishes that reflect this while moving towards a lighter style presentation.
One of the first dishes I change in Meritage is the Wild Mushroom Soup. While in season, I use both the spring onions and fiddlehead ferns. As the season progresses, I will start using other vegetables to enhance this soup.
Enjoy,
Daniel Bruce

Notes from the Sommelier
Spring is here, technically speaking! It is a time when most people start thinking about switching from heavy red wines to lighter bodied reds. My favorite wines for this transition have to include pinot noir. One of the stand outs from our Meritage wine list is Pegasus Bay from the Waipara Valley in New Zealand. It is a great example of a well-balanced new world pinot noir. The winery practices sustainable viticulture. It shows flavors of pretty raspberries with floral and spice notes with good minerality.
For something with a bit more body, I like Francis Tannahill ‘The Hermit’ from Willamette Valley, Oregon. Violets and smoke jump out of the glass showcasing flavors of sweet raspberries and bing cherries with some earth notes on the palate. One of my favorite pinot noirs I’ve tried lately is the 2004 Domaine Jacques Prieur Volnay-Santenots Burgundy. It is a gorgeous expression of pinot noir. This is a Premier Cru wine with a pronounced bouquet and elegant tannins. It shows ripe black cherries and a good amount of spice.
If you are ready to trade in your cabernets and syrahs for some lighter styled red wines for the season, stop by Meritage and try one of our many different pinot noirs on the list.
Happy Spring!
