Parmigiani and Bugatti Event at Pebble Beach 2013: Part 4 Dinner

 

The perfect setting for elegance and style, the guests enjoyed the peaceful views of the Pacific Ocean.  Parmigiani displayed several of their watches including the Parmigiani Atalante Flyback Chronograph limited edition for the CBF. 




Guests were treated to a bagpipe performance throughout the evening as the sun set over the horizon and the fog rolled in

Impressive ice sculpture, it looks like the Parmigiani Bugatti Vitesse!




The luxurious dining room set up for all the guests to enjoy dinner:




And a speech by Ms. Mazzocchi of Parmigiani and noted Bugatti collector Mr. Hull to welcome all the guests:





Here's a short video of the speech, and Mr. Hull mentions the partnership between Parmgiani and Bugatti and how the relationship is very similar.  Both have historically been involved in restoration and both strive for excellence and quality in their work.










Dinner began with a locally grown Carmel Valley heirloom tomatoes, home made burrata cheese, a splash of basil oil and a micro salad.  If you look closely there is a dollop of 'caviar' but it turned out to be pearls of balsamic vinegar.  Delicious!






A glass of chardonnay and pinot noir from the Boekenoogen Estate Vineyard and Winery, which is a located in the Santa Lucia Highlands nearby in Monterey County.  Both were excellent and paired well with the courses, and I love the fact that the chef sourced locally available wines and ingredients.





And our main course, a surf and turf with a 48 hour braised short rib and a olive oil poached salmon. 






Dessert was an artfully plated bergamont custard with stone fruit salsa, a cinnamon crisp, garnished with micro flowers:







We had a wonderful time with Parmigiani and Bugatti.  Special thanks to Ms. Mazzocchi and the esteem owner/host of the estate, thank you for such a warm welcome inside your home!  It was truly a great experience to spend time with the rare vintage Bugatti's and view some spectacular Parmigiani watches.






Hope you all enjoyed the pics!
