### 🧀 Appetizers

Crispy Polenta Bites with Whipped Ricotta & Tomato Jam Golden polenta rounds topped with creamy ricotta and sweet-savory tomato jam, garnished with microgreens
Harvest Charcuterie Board A curated selection of cured meats (prosciutto, soppressata, smoked turkey), cheeses (aged cheddar, brie, manchego), dried fruits, fig preserves, grainy mustard, and artisan crackers Optional add-ons: olives, pickled vegetables, roasted nuts (served separately for allergy awareness)
Suggested Wines:

Prosecco or dry Rosé — bright and versatile for both polenta and charcuterie
Pinot Gris or Beaujolais — light-bodied and fruit-forward to complement the variety

### 🍲 Soup

Wild Mushroom & Barley Soup Earthy mushrooms, pearl barley, thyme, and a touch of sherry in a rich vegetable broth
Suggested Wine:

* Pinot Noir — earthy and elegant to match the depth of the soup

### 🥗 Salad

Autumn Greens with Pear & Cranberry Mixed greens, poached pear slices, dried cranberries, and maple-Dijon vinaigrette
Suggested Wine:

* Dry or off-dry Riesling — balances the sweetness and acidity beautifully

### 🍗 Main Course

Herb-Crusted Turkey Roulade Stuffed with cranberry-sage stuffing, served with pan jus
Suggested Wine:

* Zinfandel or Grenache — fruit-forward and spicy to complement the herbs and cranberry

### 🍞 Sides

Savory Caramelized Onion & Gruyère Bread Pudding Custard-soaked brioche with melted Gruyère and sweet onions
Suggested Wine:

* Chardonnay or Chenin Blanc — creamy and nutty to match the richness

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Glaze & Crispy Shallots Charred and glazed for sweet-tart contrast and crunch
Suggested Wine:

* Sauvignon Blanc — crisp acidity to cut through caramelized flavors

### 🍰 Dessert

Pumpkin Chiffon Tart with Gingersnap Crust Topped with cinnamon whipped cream and candied ginger
Suggested Wine:

* Tawny Port or Late Harvest Chenin Blanc — warm, spiced, and indulgent
