*NEW* Verjus-Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese, Petite Lettuce, Blackberry Gastrique and Spiced Pecans – $5.50

The highlight of this dish is the combination of the roasted beets and the accompanying cheese. Though it’s not hearty, we think this is a great little dish. We’d give it a 5 out of 7.

Roasted Bone Marrow with Onion Marmalade, Pickled Mushrooms and Petite Lettuce – $10.50

Roasted Bone Marrow with Onion Marmalade, Pickled Mushrooms and Petite Lettuce – $10.50

Given the incredible statement made when you walk away from a booth with a Fred Flintstone-esque bone, this was a severe disappointment. Everything on top of the marrow is good, but the marrow itself was flavorless compared to others we’ve had. It’s not worth buying this to have two decent bites of mushroom and onion jam. We rate this a 2 out of 7.

Wild Mushroom Risotto with Truffle Shavings and Zinfandel Reduction – $9.75

One of only two vegan-friendly items at this year’s festival, this risotto is phenomenal. There are big chunks of mushrooms and the flavor is rich and decadent. We’d happily give it a 7 out of 7.

Whole Hog Brewery Raspberry Chéret Double Radler, Stevens Point, WI (5.5% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.

Untappd describes this as a “double Radler beer with natural flavor added. Inspired by the colorful poster the French artist Jules Chéret brought to the streets of 19th-century Paris, Raspberry Chéret is a crisp ale made with Pilsen Malt, Saab Hops, raspberry, citrus, generous carbonation, and twice the bite of a traditional Radler beer.”

Schlumberger Cuvée Klimt, Austria ($18/bottle) – $9.00

From Wine Enthusiast‘s Joe Czerwinski: “Pleasant spiced pear and cinnamon aromas lead into pear and sour plum flavors. Medium-bodied, with a short finish, it’s the only Austrian fizz we’ve ever tried—it makes us think the country has potential.”

The Meeker Vineyard Winemakers’ Handprint Merlot, Sonoma County, CA ($45/bottle) – $11.00

The Meeker Vineyard describes this Merlot: “Dark fruit like currants and cherries marry on the nose with hints of toffee and caramel. The wine explodes on your palate with more cherries, and hints of the best strawberry rhubarb pie you’ve ever had. There’s no shortage of subtle, toasty oak and big, powerful tannins throughout the palate and finish of this wine.”

*NEW* Frozen Scotch Cocktail: Scotch and Herbal Tea garnished with a Chocolate Nail – $15.50

There is nothing remarkable about this frozen scotch cocktail. Scotch mixed with herbal tea is a unique combination, but ultimately nothing special. However, the chocolate nail garnish is dark chocolate, and we enjoy it better than the drink. We’d rate it a 4 out of 7.
