This Week at Table 128: A Seasonal Celebration in Three Courses

This week’s menu is a tribute to early summer’s bold flavors and delicate balance — each dish thoughtfully crafted and paired to bring out the best in every bite and sip.

Antipasto
We begin with a vibrant antipasto platter: fire-roasted artichoke, house-made cheese, fried and marinated olives, charcuterie, and a touch of green goddess — a beautiful mix of textures and flavors, both rustic and refined.
Pairing: Domaine Franck Millet “Vigneron à BUÉ” | Sancerre | Touraine, Loire Valley, FR | 2023
This crisp, mineral-driven Sancerre is the perfect companion, brightening the plate with its citrus notes and subtle herbaceous character.

Faroe Island Salmon
Our main course features seared Faroe Island salmon, served over sweet potato and grilled asparagus, with an arugula salsa verde and cauliflower-olive relish. A drizzle of turmeric oil adds a warm, earthy finish.
Pairing: Becker Family Winery | Pinot Noir | Pfalz, DE | 2019
Light-bodied but deeply expressive, this German Pinot Noir complements the richness of the salmon while echoing the earthiness of the vegetables.

Blackberry Galette
To finish, a rustic blackberry galette made with flaky pâte brisée, raw sugar, vanilla bean paste, and berry coulis — simple, elegant, and just sweet enough.
Pairing: Moscato d’Asti | Bricco Riella | Mango D’Alba, IT | 2024
Fragrant and lightly effervescent, this Moscato highlights the galette’s fruit-forward notes and adds a refreshing lift to end the evening.
