On June 4th Raj and Danhee hosted the press preview of our forthcoming 12 Year Old World marriage at their luxurious townhouse in Manhattan. Although this premium bottle is due to hit shelves later this month, a select few were invited to bombard their taste buds with a 5-course meal, each course paired with a different wine and corresponding WhistlePig finish.

Menu and food by Dominique Agri of Kitchen Surfing.

Today we present the first course, and forget the catchphrase: we highly recommend trying this at home.
