happy holidays!

As the holiday season approaches, don't forget about Fieldstone's annual offerings and events. 

I'm sure that all of you with young children and grandchildren are aware of our Santa Brunch tradition.  Hopefully you have made your reservations, as both days are currently sold out.

Our holiday lunch buffets are typically held during the week bookended by the Santa Brunches.  This year they will be Wednesday December 12th, Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th.  They are a wonderful opportunity to entertain family, friends and co-workers with excellent food and the welcoming surroundings of the club.  The menus can be found in the Upcoming Events section.

Entertaining at home for the holidays?  Need to bring a dish when visiting relatives but you just can't find the time?  "Fieldstone @ Home" to the rescue!  We offer a variety of salads, sides and hors d'oeuvre.  As well as whole or half hams, pies, cookies and cannoli.  If you don't see what your looking for, just let us know how we can help and we'll do our best to help free up some of your valuable time during this busy holiday season.  The menus can be found on the Fieldstone website.

winding down

As summer winds down we near the end of golf season and unfortunately the end of local tomato and corn season as well.  It's always a sad day when we sell our last tomato-mozzarella salad of the year, (and within the next week or so we will) but it only makes us look forward to next summer even more.

Thanks to all who came out for Brazilian Steakhouse night on Labor Day.  This has proven to be one of our most well attended events of the year.  I had several requests for the recipe for the pao de queijo (cheese bread) so I posted it in the recipe section.

Hope to see you out at the club for one of the exciting events on the calendar this fall:

9/19 - Lobster Night
10/4 - Craft Beer Tasting
10/6 - Oktoberfest Dinner Specials
10/25 - Uinta Brewing Company Beer Dinner

Crab Feast

Our annual Crab Feast is right around the corner.  Check the Upcoming Events section for the full menu and bring some friends out to join in the fun next Wednesday the 8th.  The regular menu will not be available, but there will be plenty for all to enjoy on the buffet.  Space is limited, so call (302) 658-2600 to make your reservations!

Mid-Summer Events!

Don't miss our Fourth of July buffet featuring classic barbecue flavors from across the country.  The buffet starts at 5:00 pm, so you'll have plenty of time to get your fill before heading off to your favorite fireworks show.  The full menu can be found in the Upcoming Events section.

We will also be having our second Featured Wine Night on the 4th.  Be sure to sample the Acacia Pinot Noir and the Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc that we'll be pouring to complement the varied flavors of our barbecue buffet.

summer wine dinner

Join us next Thursday for our annual Summer Wine Dinner.  We'll be pouring wines perfect for the season, paired with seven courses featuring the freshest seafood and local produce we can get our hands on.  See the Upcoming Events section for a full list of the wines.

halfway house

I'm sure many of you have noticed the halfway house upgrades completed during the off-season, but incase you have yet to visit it here are a few of the highlights:

• all new bathroom fixtures
• new lighting
• new countertop
• new cabinets
• ice dispenser
• sliding door refrigerator
• new windows and door

With the addition of a reach in refrigerator we will be able to provide some added food options and a much cleaner and organized presentation of the beverage selections.  You may have noticed deli sandwiches and whole fruit being available, and we will now have 1/2 sandwiches as an option as well. 

Hopefully you'll have a chance take advantage of these upgrades soon.  Be sure to let us know if you think any other items would work particularly well in the newly available space.

cinco de mayo

Come join us tomorrow night for our annual Cinco de Mayo celebration!  We will be featuring a variety of Mexican appetizers, entrees and drink specials in addition to our regular menu.  A full description of the specials can be found in the upcoming events section.  Be sure to call ahead, as this is always a popular event and seating will be limited.

(while sometimes mistakenly reffered to as Mexico's "Independance Day," the holiday which has basically been co-opted by alcohol companies and turned into an American drinking tradition, actually celebrates the 1862 Battle of Puebla, in which outnumbered Mexican forces defeated the invading French army.)

Taste of California

Next Thursday, April 26th will be our first wine dinner of 2012.  We will be focusing on the wines of California with offerings from the Sonoma, Carneros, Napa Valley and Central Valley regions.  I'm putting the finishing touches on the menu and will have it posted by the end of the week.  In the meantime you can find a list of the wines we will be pairing in the upcoming events section.  As usual we will present seven courses handcrafted to complement each wine.  Space is very limited and reservations are required.  Call (302) 658-2600 for reservations.
Hope to see you there!

opening day weekend & "Tour of Asia"

We kick off opening day weekend with our always popular "Tour of Asia" dinner specials.  The full menu can be found in the upcoming events section. 

We'll also have our traditional complimentary hot breakfast buffet available for everyone participating in the opening day tournament. 

Hope to see everyone  out at the club this weekend!

early spring

The first of our spring menu changes go into effect today, featuring new salads highlighting the first local produce of the season!  We'll be doing a new version of the iceberg wedge, a baby spinach salad and a salad that will feature the freshest spring vegetables available to us on a daily basis.

Keep an eye out for our "Tour of Asia" menu additions that will be featured next week.  The menu will be available in the upcoming events section, as well as posted at the club.

first of the season!!!

This is definitely the earliest I have seen fresh soft shell crabs available.  Availability is still very limited, but due to the unseasonably warm weather, soft shell crab season has is just beginning to start and we were able to get are hands on some.  I'm sure they won't last long, so hurry in for a little taste of summer this weekend!

featured wine night

Come join us this Wednesday for Fieldstone's first "Featured Wine Night."  We will be providing complementary tastings of two selections from the Antinori Family Estate.  Featuring their 2008 Antica Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and their 2010 Antica Napa Valley Chardonnay.  Check the Upcoming Events tab for more information on the wines

While our full menu will be available as usual, Fieldstone's culinary team will craft the evening dinner specials to pair seamlessly with the featured wines.  Please join us for this unique experience.

beautiful day

Almost 80 degrees on a Friday in March?  Sounds like a great oppurtunity to enjoy an early dinner at one of our highly sought after patio tables.

We will be featuring stone crab claws again this weekend, but supplies were tight so they won't last long.

Next week is our first "featured wine" night.  You'll be able to taste a red and a white wine that we have specifically paired with our specials for the evening.  The wines will also be available for purchase.  Check back on Monday when I'll post all the specifics.

this weekend

Just a qick reminder that we will be featuring St. Patrick's day dinner and drink specials in addition to the regular menu on Saturday evening.  The full menu can be found in the Upcoming Events section of the blog.

Also, we will be making our first menu changes of the season with a new selection of sandwiches starting on Saturday.

one more way to stay connected

Starting this Friday we will begin posting daily specials and information regarding various upcoming food and beverage events on our twitter account "@fieldstonefnb"  We will post dinner specials and other pertinent information each morning.  Follow along to stay abreast of what's going on at the club.

As I mentioned in our inaugural "tweet" this morning, we will have stone crab claws available this weekend

we're back!

My apologies for the long stretch between posts.  I'll be sure to post information regarding upcoming events on a regular basis as we head into the season.  I hope everyone who came out for Valentine's Day and our Fat Tuesday specials enjoyed themselves.  It was certainly nice seeing so many of you back out at the club.

For those of you who have never tried stone crab claws, I highly recommend you to try them up at the club while they are in season.  We have an excellent source that overnights them to us from Florida, but the season only lasts until May 15th.  We'll have them available approximately every other week till then.  Stone crabmeat has a firm texture and a sweet, succulent flavor.  Due to the sustainable fishing habbits used in harvesting the crabs, they are considered a "Best Choice" by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch.
