Now The President Must Eat! JT January 20, 2009 Politics 10 Comments I’m sure many of you were closely following the Inauguration this morning, as I was, knowing the historical impact of this incredible event. Then, like me, once the event was over, you probably thought, what will President Obama’s first meal be? Like everything else on this day, these details have been planned for a long time, and the theme of the luncheon is ‘A New Birth of Freedom’ (honoring the 200th anniversary of President Lincoln’s birth). Therefore, the menu features some of Lincoln’s favorite foods, which is actually pretty cool. MENU First Course: Seafood Stew (Paired with Duckhorn Vineyards 2007 Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley) Second Course: A Brace of American Birds (pheasant and duck), served with Sour Cherry Chutney and Molasses Sweet Potatoes (Paired with Goldeneye 2005 Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley) Third Course: Apple Cinnamon Sponge Cake and Sweet Cream Glace (Paired with Korbel International “Special Inaugural Cuvee,” California Champagne) I hope the afternoon schedule is light, because there are lots of glasses of wine going around!
