Yesterday, for the second year running, I was lucky enough to attend one of Jim Denevan’s (http://www.jimdenevan.com/ – very cool art) Outstanding In The Field (http://www.outstandinginthefield.com/ events. This year the setting was a beautiful cove just outside of Half Moon Bay, California. I’ve added the menu here so you can appreciate the effort that Jim and his team put into these events. It has to rate as one of the most special dinning experiences anywhere.

* aromatic spiced seafood skewers grilled ‘on the bone’, fava bean & herb salsa verde and fregola stewed with tomato & dried chilies, 2009 Lucy Rose (Santa Lucia Highlands)
