The holiday season means family gatherings, dinners with friends and festive evening get-togethers over delicious food and sparkling conversation. And since nothing is more comforting than feeling at home, we\u2019ve got a little something for you: a full menu that showcases the best of our local terroir, inspired by the flavours of our beautiful Eastern Townships. Because know-how and local pride are two more great things to celebrate!<\/p>\n

Festive nibbles<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Let the evening begin! Who doesn\u2019t love being welcomed with a fizzing flute of bubbly? With its delicate notes of red berries and grapefruit, Domaine du Ridge<\/a>\u2019s sparkling ros\u00e9 Berthelot-Paradis<\/a>\u00a0has all the effervescent charm your celebration needs to get off to a great start. Pair it with an irresistible appetizer of seared duck breast with figs and honey lavender drizzle\u00a0[\u203a\u203a\u203a]<\/a>\u00a0for a match made in holiday-gathering heaven!<\/p>\n

Try these little \u201cboats\u201d of duck confit and endives in a cranberry maple syrup vinaigrette [\u203a\u203a\u203a]<\/a>, and capture the delicate flavours of Quebec cuisine in the perfect finger food. Crunchy and lightly sweet, they go marvellously with an India Pale Ale like La Knowlton Co.<\/a> microbrewery\u2019s IPA de la C\u00f4te Ouest, or with the fruity and mineral aromas of Domaine les Brome<\/a>\u2019s Riesling R\u00e9serve<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chicken tender fans will jump for joy at these decadent crispy duck breast fritters [\u203a\u203a\u203a]<\/a>, with their glorious balance of textures and flavours in each bite-sized cube! They may be at their best when paired with a glass of L\u00e9on Courville<\/a>\u2019s single-variety Cuv\u00e9e Vidal<\/a>, but on the other hand, they\u2019re just as fantastic with a creamy red beer like the Edgar Hyperlodge<\/a> microbrewery\u2019s L\u2019Autre Sorte.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get things started<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Everyone\u2019s here\u2014it\u2019s time to sit down to dinner! Whet your appetites with succulent duck confit and mango phyllo rolls [\u203a\u203a\u203a]<\/a>\u00a0and a glass of Domaine les Brome<\/a>\u2019s R\u00e9serve XP<\/a>, a supple red with woody and fruity aromas. More of a beer afficionado? A light and airy brown ale, like La Knowlton Co.<\/a>\u2019s Porter Anglaise, is a perfect match!<\/p>\n

Feel like some finger food? These duck tchatchouka sliders, with crumbled goat cheese and seasonal sprouts [\u203a\u203a\u203a]<\/a>, won\u2019t disappoint! Tender meat and melting cheese combine in a flavour explosion that perfectly brings out the floral and vegetal notes of L\u2019Orpailleur white wine<\/a>. We definitely recommend serving them together!<\/p>\n

If you want a lighter appetizer, go for a duck confit and dill cucumber salad [\u203a\u203a\u203a]<\/a>. The fresh and creamy vinaigrette and the crunch of the cucumber make for a delicious contrast of tastes and textures that your taste buds will love. The floral and vegetal notes of Domaine du Ridge<\/a>\u2019s Vent d\u2019Ouest<\/a>\u00a0or a wheat beer like Edgar Hyperlodge<\/a>\u2019s Brass\u00e9e de Blanc both provide a perfect complement for this zesty salad.<\/p>\n

The pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The traditional Christmas turkey is old news by now, so why not let your guests feast on duck for a change? Try this recipe for clementine and cranberry-stuffed duck in maple gin sauce [\u203a\u203a\u203a]<\/a>\u00a0. Go for a fruity gin, like Gin de Neige<\/a>\u00a0to boost the sweetness of those tart cranberries and clementines. Serve it with Cuv\u00e9e Julien<\/a>, a supple and fruity red wine from\u00a0Domaine Les Brome<\/a>, with vegetal aromas that pair to perfection with the herbs in the duck\u2019s stuffing.<\/p>\n

For a not-quite-traditional Christmas dinner, mushroom-stuffed duck breast [\u203a\u203a\u203a]<\/a>\u00a0will delight everyone at the table. Got some extra time for cooking? Braised duck breast with cranberries [\u203a\u203a\u203a]<\/a>\u00a0will fill your house with a mouth-watering aroma, not to mention satisfying the whole family at dinnertime. How about something to drink? With its supple tannins and woody, gently smoky aromas, the C\u00f4te d\u2019Ardoise red<\/a> from the C\u00f4tes d\u2019Ardoise<\/a>\u00a0vineyard is an ideal match for these rich and satisfying dishes.<\/p>\n

Savour the end of the evening by sipping some maple cream Coureur des Bois<\/a>. In piping hot coffee or just served over ice, it\u2019s the perfect way to end a gathering\u2026 or to linger on into the wee hours!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
