The evening began on the back patio, with a burrito, a lemon verbena caipirinha cocktail (reminiscent of the traditional Brazilian drink) and Patagonian cheese wrapped in chayote leaves.
Gagnaire's "John Dory Grilled with Leaves of Lemon Verbena, Cucumber in Melted Half-Salted Butter" is a fine example of his cuisine--and a great dish to enjoy with white wine.
