The White House menu Friday night for foreign leaders:
Fruitwood-smoked quail with quince gastrique; quinoa risotto; thyme-roasted rack of lamb; tomato, fennel and eggplant fondue; a salad course of endive, baked brie and walnuts; and a pear torte to cap the meal.
Among the wines: bottles of Shafer Cabernet Hillside Select 2003, about $300 a bottle, for the main course and the much cheaper Landmark Chardonnay Damaris Reserve 2006, about $40 a bottle, with the appetizer course. The Chandon Etoile Rose sparkling wine that accompanied dessert runs about $30 a bottle.
