Samantha “Sam” Izzo of Simply Red Lakeside Bistro, part of Sheldrake Point Vineyard, takes culinary inspiration from South Africa, and, though we didn’t taste her famed roasted Moroccan chicken and traditional South African Babootie, the simple, frugal curry-flavored stew that is a staple of the region, she did treat us to a power-loaded smoked gazpacho in a crème fraîche finish with a single poached shrimp and topped with avocado. It was a tangy mix of intense spice and citrus flavors, a great dish for a hot summer night. I preferred, however, Sam’s second offering: flavorful sweet pea tortellini tossed in brown butter, Parmesan cheese and cinnamon. These were paired with 2007 Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards Pinot Gris and 2006 Sheldrake Point Vineyard Bunch Select Riesling.
