Jackie’s Amazing Tomatoes/ by Shelley Lance, Blog Editor

Last week I stopped by the Palace Kitchen for a tasting of Prosser Farm veggies (raised by farmer-in-chief Jackie Cross) paired with Chinook Wines (created by winemaker Kay Simon).

This is the second taste, a tasting of heirloom tomatoes paired with Chinook Rosé 2010.  On the plate:

Aunt Ruby’s  German green,  smoked pork belly, iceberg

Cherokee red, fromage blanc, fennel flower

Ceylon, curried potato vinaigrette, fresh coriander

These were the best tomato bites I’ve had all summer- both the tomatoes themselves and the presentations by Palace Chef Dezi.  I wish I had a pint of that curried potato vinaigrette in my refrigerator at home, and I wish I had a dozen Aunt Ruby’s German green tomatoes!
