Backwater Bill’s Wine Dinner

February 10, 2012

Homemade Duck sausage roll with chow chow & goat cheese

Wild Rock Sauvignon Blanc – Still the classic New Zealand gooseberry, but less of the grass and grapefruit and more lime, floral and stonefruit.  Crisp, spicy, and delicious.  Sublime wherever there is sun, surf or seafood.

Fennel dusted Hapuka delicately pan seared and served with charred onion, spinach and mussel broth.

Craggy Range Chardonnay – Pale straw color with faint green hues.  Lemon, cream, floral and  nut characteristics blend on the nose to form a complex bouquet.  The palate is tightly structured with firm acidity and a grainy texture with flavors of white peach, flowers and a hint of roasted nuts.

New Zealand lamb rack roasted and sliced and served with Shepards Pie, warm beet compote and tarragon infused jus lie.

Wild Rock Pinot Noir – Dense ruby red in color this Pinot Noir has red berry and black cherry fruits mixed with wild herb and floral characters.  A soft textured palate with fine grainy tannins and a spicy, dried fruit character on the finish.

Bitter sweet chocolate torte with minted crème fraiche.

Craggy Range Riesling – Green tinged pale straw in color, the aromatics display ripe stonefruit, floral notes of lime oil and a sherbet candy character.  There is a sweet floral and tropical feel to the palate.  Crisp, juicy acidity enlivens the apple and lime flavors.

Price is $75.00 per person, and we will be selling the New Zealand wines for 1/2 off with your reservation!!!!!  Champagne toast begins at 6:00 p.m.!!  E-mail Katie at kswaby@hamptonlake.com for your reservation today!!!

A recipe from the Chef

August 18, 2011 |  by Backwater Bills  |  Comments Off
Bill’s BBQ Rub

This is a close cousin of the rub we use at Backwater Bill’s for all our smoked meats. Please note: this is a rub and contains sugar. It cannot be used for grilling as the sugar will burn!!!

1/3 cup light brown sugar
¼ cup paprika
¼ cup season salt (such as Lawry’s)
¼ cup kosher or sea salt
1/8 cup onion salt
1/8 cup celery salt
1 Tablespoon ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon dark chili powder
1 Tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon all spice
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin

This will yield approximately 2 cups and should be stored in an airtight container. It works equally well on beef, pork, or chicken. Click Here to download a PDF of the recipe. Enjoy!!
