SABAYON OF MUSCAT DE BEAUMES DE VENISE WITH FRESH BERRIES
Steps:
- Place the yolks in a medium, heatproof bowl. Gradually whisk in the sugar and whisk until the mixture is thick enough to form a thick ribbon when the whisk is lifted, about 2 minutes. Beat in the Muscat and orange zest. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Whisking constantly, cook until the sabayon is warm and doubles in volume, about 8 minutes. Pour into 4 wine glasses. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. To serve, spoon the berries over each serving, and garnish with a mint sprig.
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND LOBSTER WITH MUSCAT BEAUMES-DE-VENISE SAUCE
The chef Wayne Nish shared this recipe with The New York Times in 1999 to accompany a story about baby cilantro. A bottle of Muscat Beaumes-de-Venise provides the base for this sauce. Mr. Nish said he liked to use baby cilantro "in places where fully grown cilantro would overwhelm everything else." For a flavor as delicate as lobster's, he said, "it adds a spike of brightness."

Steps:
- For the sauce, combine Beaumes-de-Venise, ginger, shallots and garlic, and cook to reduce to 1 cup. Whisk in cumin and 1 quart cream; return to heat, and reduce to 3 cups. Remove from heat, and strain to remove solids. Season with salt and lime juice to taste, and keep warm.
- In large stockpot, combine 3 quarts water with 1/2 cup sea salt. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with 3 quarts water and ice, and add 1/2 cup sea salt. Set aside.
- Kill each lobster by placing the tip of sharp knife on top of the head behind the eyes and striking it down with a kitchen mallet. Twist off the tails, and break off the claws (with knuckles) at the bodies.
- Add claws to pot. After 4 minutes, add tails, and continue to boil 6 minutes longer. Using tongs or slotted spoon, transfer claws and tails to ice water to stop the cooking.
- Remove meat from shells, and cut meat into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add remaining cream, and mix well. Season with sea salt to taste. Bring to a bare simmer, and then add lobster to heat through. To serve, remove lobster from butter-cream mixture, and place an equal portion of lobster on each of four plates. Spoon Beaumes-de-Venise sauce around, and garnish with baby cilantro.

Steps:
- Chill the wine until it is extremely cold, at least 3 hours.
- Divide the melon cubes among 4 decorative serving glasses. Pour 1/2 cup wine over each glass of melon, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Melon selection: Choose ripe, sweet melons with fragrant flesh. Cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon are all excellent choices.
- Puff pastry handling: Thaw frozen puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 1 hour before using. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
- Baking the tart shell: Prick the bottom of the tart shell with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking. Bake the tart shell in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and crispy.
- Filling the tart shell: Let the tart shell cool completely before filling it. Fill the tart shell with the melon mixture and top with the Muscat de Beaumes de Venise glaze.
- Chilling the tart: Chill the tart for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the glaze to set.
Conclusion:
This melon tart is a refreshing and delicious dessert that is perfect for summertime gatherings. The sweet melon filling is complemented perfectly by the Muscat de Beaumes de Venise glaze, and the flaky puff pastry crust adds a touch of elegance. With its vibrant colors and enticing aroma, this tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
