When Nonna requested a birthday dinner, I immediately came up with a theme when the boys declared, "Nonna is the best!" Okay.

Recipe posting to come. Warmed Triple-Crème Brie with a Cherry & Fennel Mostarda Autumn Greens with Homemade Buttermilk Dressing Paired with Holman Ranch’s 2012 Virgin Chardonnay Roasted Pheasant in Cream Sauce with Mushrooms Truffled Pommes Anna with Crème Fraîche Paired with Holman Ranch’s 2010 Hunter’s Cuvée Pinot Noir Tiramisù Lemon Cream Pie and Ginger Honey from Kai Lee Creamery Served with House-Roasted Coffee Beans from Guatemala These are the mini-ghost pumpkin candleholders that Dylan made for Nonna last night.
