Slovenian Menu at New York's Mae Mae Café

During the second week of December a few branch members and friends visited Mae Mae Café, located at 68 Vandam Street in NYC, and enjoyed a special Slovenian menu. The prix fixe menu, with or without wine, was a creation of chef Vesna Čarman, who owns one of Slovenia's most highly acclaimed gostilinas, or inns, Pri Danilu. The accompanying wines were selected by Emil Gaspari of Slovenian Premium Wines. As the fourth highest per capita consumer of wine, Slovenia exports only 10 percent of its 10 million liter annual production, making these fresh, subtly complex wines a relative rarity in the United States.

First Course:
Kale-wrapped Smoked Trout with Barley and Horseradish in a Watercress Puree
(wine pairing Tilia Chardonnay 2005)
Entrée:
Roasted Wild Boar Medallions with a Cabbage and Potato puree and a Plum Sauce
(wine pairing Santomas Cabernet Sauvignon 2001)
Dessert:
Traditional St. Nicholas Holiday Steamed Roll with Orange Sauce and
Pumpkin Seed Parfait with Pumpkin Seed Oil
(wine pairing Tilia Galileus 2005)
