In an effort to eat at
all 3000 San Francisco restaurants(700 and counting) and visit all 600 Napa
wineries(300 and counting) my wife Linda and I recently traveled to Magical
Martis Camp in Truckee, California. We were guests of our good friends Tom and Lisa
Morgan for the 7th annual Martis Camp Mountain Muster Golf Invitational.
The 3 day sold out
tournament was very well organized with a chance to win a $280,000 Lamborghini,
lunch and putting contest for the spouses on the well manicured 1
acre 18 hole putting green and lots of libations food and fun. The
final night concluded with a Starship Summer concert on a warm crystal clear
star studded Lake Tahoe evening.
The tournament kicked
off in style with a elegant Silver Oak Wine dinner on the lighted balcony
of their 50 million dollar club house on the Tom Fazio designed signature 18th
hole with a stunning views of the Sierras and an
unforgettable mystical mountain sunset.
Chef Brett Moseley started the Silver Oak dinner with Alaskan Halibut Cheeks
paired with 2013 Twomey Pinot Noir from Alexander Valley that was very
refreshing. Next was Sonoma Duck,
buttered corn, sugar snap peas and cilantro paired with a full bodied 2006
Library Selection Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley. The third course was paired with 2010 Napa
Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. It was perfectly paired with a Wagu
Rib eye, smoked carrot purée, grilled rapini and huckleberry Demi-glacé.
The stunning meal was capped
off with a Lemon Mousse Tartlet, spiced cake, and smoked honey ice cream.
Viva Martis Camp!
