Presidential State Dinners are the pinnacle of Presidential meals. These formal meals are prepared for visiting Kings, Queens, Presidents, and other heads of state. These formal meals include phenomenal dishes paired with the best wines. The President and First Lady are engaged with the White House Staff, State Department, famous Chefs, and many others to prepare the ultimate meal. Everyone pays attention to every detail – from the food and wine pairings to the entertainment to the toasts.
Come enjoy a special dinner with the President. These Presidential Dinners with the world leaders are presented on very special occasions, serving the best food and wine that America can offer. These meals serve a wide diversity of almost exclusively American wines – from white wines with the salads to red wines with meat to Champagne and Sparkling Wines with desserts. This is the ultimate wine and food pairing book, with a wine and food pairing chart for each wine and a food and wine pairing chart for each course. This book covers White House History, as well as the history behind these meals and the events.
Bill Stefan invites you to enjoy these Presidential Dinners with easy-to-understand explanations and recipes for each course, using pictures of the White House guests, chefs, dinners, menus, foods, and wines; charts of the wine and food pairings; anecdotes and stories; recommendations for substitute wines for the few wines that are no longer made; and, recommendations for alternative wines, if cost maybe an issue (If the 1962 Dom Perignon Champagne is not practical, then a $20 bottle of Chandon wine (both wines are made my Moet & Chandon) could be an alternative.)
