As a late birthday present, a fathers day gift and goodbye meal (he's leaving for his annual 6 months in South Africa) I'm planning making quite the dinner for my dad tonight.

Menu is:

Cheese tray appetizer, cheeses will include a gouda, bree, goat and an aged cheddar with a number of different types of crackers.

The main course will be:

Seared spicy grouper with a mango, pineapple and papaya chutney.
Either sunchoke creamed spinach or mashed sunchokes
Roasted white and green asparagus.

I haven't figured out the dessert yet.

For wines I'm thinking about a Chardonnay or a Pinot Noir and maybe a Gewurztraminer for dessert.

He better like it.

Mmmm... that sounds so good!

Wine, cheese (to go with the wine, I'm assuming), fruity fish (I *LOVE* Mango), and veggies? What is there not to like?!?!

And Gewurztraminer (a sweet French wine with a very German name :-P) to wash down mayhaps a delectable piece of Deutsch Schokoladekuchen?

Way grubbin'!

Ditch the chardonnay and go with a sauvignon blanc instead!

Sweeeeeeeet! Sauv Blancs are some of my favorite whites. And hey, if you want to go a little exotic next time, try a white Bordeaux from France. Domaine les Ardouins makes a fabulous one!
