At this year’s Pebble Beach Food and Wine festival The Black Bottle was showcased at a special dinner called the MY LAST SUPPER.
Our 2010 Diamond Mountain cabernet was presented as the red wine for the entre, a decadent roasted rack of lamb prepared by celebrity chef Paul Bartolatta of Ristorante di Mare, Wynn Resort Las Vegas. This recipe, a purely Ligurian style dish, was served with an amazing anchovy sauce which is traditionally was made with a mortar and pestle by creating a paste with all the dry ingredients first, and then adding extra virgin olive oil to obtain a creamy consistency.
Thanks to Chef Bartolatta we’ve recreated his Salsa d’Acciughe for you here:
