Obama will eat like Lincoln

1:50 PM Mon, Jan 12, 2009 |  |

Who knew Abraham Lincoln liked stewed and scalloped oysters, wild game and apples? Well, evidently the Inaugural Committee folks in charge of the food for President Elect Barack Obama's inauguration meal do.

That's why in honor of President Lincoln, the luncheon appetizer will be seafood stew in puff pastry -- scallops, shrimp, lobster, with a main course of duck breast with sour-cherry chutney and herb-roasted pheasant served with molasses sweet potatoes and winter vegetables and apple cinnamon sponge cake for dessert.

You can read about it here.

Taste at Calais Winery in Deep Ellum

After navigating various levels of red tape, Calais Winery in Deep Ellum is now legal to serve samples on premise. That means you can sample winemaker Benjamin Calais' whimsically named cuvees made in the French style he learned in St. Emilion while living in Paris.

He's just on the brink of bottling his Cuvee du Commerce 2006 blending 85 percent cabernet sauvignon with 15 percent syrah.

You can taste all his wines paired with a menu by Daddy Jack's Wood Grill chef-owner Salvatore Gisellu at Daddy Jack's at 7 p.m. Thursday; $45. Make reservations by calling 214-653-3949.

Calais is also starting monthly tastings, beginning at 6;30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23 with Spanish wines; $10. Make a reservation at 214-453-2548.
