Notes: This is a recipe from the Consulting Chef at Bargetto Winery a few years ago when Larry was on their Advisory Board. Now, I didn't use heavy cream but that doesn't mean that wouldn't be optimum. Of course, he also recommends serving this with a glass of their Pinot Noir and that might be optimum, too. The servings for 4 are big - make your own judgment.
