Veritas invited me to the Might Supper Sequence that includes Randi Brady of Diversified Vines. Randi is thought for her “Style the Playlist” occasions the place she brings wine and hip hop collectively. Randi got here up from Atlanta and put our vineyard dinner to music!
My date for the night:
Course One
Handed Apps with the 2022 Veritas Viognier
The handed apps have been so good! This was a fried Virginia oyster with a hydro lettuce and caviar ranch (I’m pulling these descriptions proper from the menu!)
And OMG – these mushrooms have been full of pimento cheese and I consider had a pork on high. Such a fantastic combo!
The Setting
Among the Supper Sequence dinners are outside, however ours was within the lovely Veritas ballroom.
I liked the disco ball centerpieces! We have been assigned tables, and we have been seated subsequent to a man who we found lives three doorways down from us!
Opening Remarks
Because the dinner started, we have been launched to Randi Brady together with Veritas winemaker Emily Hodson and CEO George Hodson. They defined how the music influenced the meal and what to anticipate as every course started.
You’ll see on the menu beneath there’s a signature track for every dish, however then as we loved consuming extra songs flowed onto the playlist in the same model. I feel initially that they had envisioned the dance flooring opening on the finish of the meal, however so many individuals have been impressed by the music there have been dancers at every course! I actually had no concept what to anticipate after I RSVPed for this occasion, and it exceeded all expectations. It was not like some other dinner I’ve attended!
First Course

We had the Veritas Scintilla NV with some actually scrumptious fried Virginia seafood, slaws, and sauces. Every part was handed on platters, household model.
Second Course

Paired with the 2023 Rosé, which I completely liked. It was my favourite wine of the evening!
The lighting obtained dimmer, however this brilliant salad was actually complicated with orzo, asparagus, pecorino, lemon, shitake mushrooms, and a grilled ramp dressing.
Third Course
“Juicy” – Infamous B.I.G.
Paired with the 2017 Cabernet Franc
We loved pepper jack mashed potatoes, roasted tomatoes, and a porchetta. I simply needed to lookup what a porchetta was as a result of I’m nonetheless unsure even after consuming it! In response to Wikipedia: “Porchetta is a savory, fatty, and moist boneless pork roast of Italian culinary custom. The carcass is deboned and spitted or roasted historically over wooden for at the very least eight hours, fats and pores and skin nonetheless on.” It was SO distinctive – an excellent crispy pores and skin, with layers of fats on within the center after which a extra gamey meat within the center (which will have been liver?!)
Dessert
“Get Mild” – Nas
Omg – I liked this Strawberry Clafoutis! We loved it with the 2021 Kenmar dessert wine. I needed to be cautious to not overdrink as a result of the whole lot tasted so completely collectively.
