Annie recently heard that The Hurricane Kitchen<\/a> food truck would be at Donati Family Vineyard<\/a> every Friday<\/span> afternoon from 11:30 – 4:30, so she had to twist my arm to get me to go recently. Actually, there was no twisting because when it comes to food and wine\u2026well\u2026I\u2019m all in. We took Sammy with us after we picked him up from school and met a few friends to imbibe with (good times, Kelly, Megan, and Brock\u2026as usual).<\/p>\n

We did not taste through their line up, we were more in the mood for a glass. So these are what we had:<\/p>\n

2013 Chardonnay $25.00<\/p>\n

2014 Sisters Forever Unoaked Chardonnay $16.00<\/p>\n

2014 Pinot Blanc (not sure of price)<\/p>\n

The Pinot Blanc, if I\u2019m not mistaken, was just released or about to be. Either way, it was really nice. The two Chards were good but I preferred the unoaked. And now, here\u2019s what we ordered off the food truck:<\/p>\n

Duck Confit – honey fennel sauce \u2022 basil pesto \u2022 herbs de provence<\/p>\n

Grass Fed Beef Burger – herb rubbed in a coffee cola bbq sauce \u2022 grilled pasilla & red peppers \u2022 dijon aioli \u2022 jack cheese<\/p>\n

This is our second time having food from this particular food truck. The first time was at Four Lanterns Winery at Vintage Paso Zinfandel Weekend. I think they are killing it. The burger was amazing. Juicy and tons of flavor. Annie loved the Duck Confit but I can\u2019t tell you what I thought because we shared nothing! Haha, sometimes sharing is overrated.<\/p>\n

Bottom line, fun experience. It was cool to see our friends and hang out for a while. It was great to see Mitch as well, it was his day off from Donati but he came out to enjoy the food with his wife as well. I\u2019d like to think he came because we were there but I doubt it. No hard feelings.<\/p>\n

Donati is one of those joints that\u2019s got a great location right on HWY 46 West and Vineyard Drive. It\u2019s got a good sized tasting room as well as a lounge that was quite comfortable. If you haven\u2019t been\u2026you need to!<\/p>\n
