The ROSE & KETTLE in Cherry Valley rises again for our annual Glimmerglass Artists divine dinner (7-22-18)

Fifteen of us joined last night after the final concert of the weekend by Eric Owens (and he was in attendance as well) for our annual client/friends/young artists' dinner at the Rose & Kettle in Cherry Valley, just 15 minutes away from Cooperstown and the Glimmerglass Theater. Everything was a hit this year starting with the amazing drinks such as a Pomegranate Cosmo and Lancaster Lemonade(vodka,limoncello,cointreau). The wines were also excellent as always with a Wachau Gruner Veltliner, Chateau de Campuget Rose, Marchesi Mazzei Badiola and the always spectacular Earthquake Petit Sirah.

I started with the spicy delicious Samosas of sweet potato, pea and onion with mango chutney and tamarind glaze and tasted the awesome special of Salmon Cake with Nuoc Cham Asian Fish sauce. I almost always order the amazing definitive Meatloaf of locally raised beef, pork and lamb mixed and served with garlic mashed potatoes, an amazing pan gravy thick and rich and string beans. I think more than 1/2 the table ordered the special main course of NY Strip Steak with Horseradish-Dijon Cream, Steak Fries, Spinach and amazing crispy fried onions(FB photos). This is one of our favorite nights of the year and this year was just as special as it always is. Back in August 2019!
