Appy: D’Anjou pear salad with farmstead goat cheese, fennel, black walnuts, and white balsamic.
Entree: Poached Maine lobster, dry aged rib eye with double stuffed potatoes, buttermilk crisp onions, and creamed spinach and orange glazed carrots and black trumpet mushrooms.
Dessert :Old fashioned apple pie with vanilla ice cream

In keeping with the theme, the meal will be accompanied by American wines: the lobster will be served with Dumol Chardonnay “Russian River” 2008, the steak with Quilceda Creek Cabernet “Columbia Valley” 2005, and the apple pie will be served with Poet’s Leap Riesling “Botrytis” 2008.

(I wonder if President Hu, like many Asians, is lactose intolerant. If so, this menu may be a plot to do him in)

If this is your original, you get my vote for post of the year! A modernized classic.

IIRC, only American wine is served at state dinners


In the early 1960s, when John Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, occupied The White House, French wine was very much in vogue. The Kennedys preferred Bordeaux.

While Lyndon Johnson was hardly a wine aficionado, the most important political decision made about wine in the modern day White House was made under his watch when it was decided that only American wines would be served at official functions. It has been so ever since.

Under Jefferson, it was from his cellar and also French.
I believe you will find that many Asians are NOT lactose intolerant but lack a particular enzyme (alcoholdehydroginase) to metabolize ethanol. The result is a redness in the face and a warmness in the body. It can be counteracted by the person ingesting a simple antihistamine (chlortimeton) about 20-30 minutes before alcohol. Lactose intolerance is not an Asian "thing".
I understand the political reasoning for only serving American wine at State functions, and I don't really disagree with it.

Still, if serving a French wine might be the difference between a 40 billion trade deal or not, I might consider making an exception. [Not that I am saying it would have made the difference in this case].
