The Inaugural Luncheon Menu

Guests at the inaugural luncheon after Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States were treated to seafood stew, duck and pheasant, sponge cake and California wines.

And they toasted the new president with a Korbel Natural “Special Inauguration Cuvee” California Champagne.

The first course, a seafood stew filled with lobster, scallops, shrimp and cod, was served with Duckhorn Vineyards' 2007 Sauvignon Blanc.

The main course, a brace of duck and pheasant served with sour cherry chutney, molasses whipped sweet potatoes and winter vegetables, was accompanied by Goldeneye, 2005 Pinot Noir, from California's Anderson Valley.
