Mimi's Cafe Infuses Menu with Wine Country Cuisine for Fall

To capture the essence of fall, Mimi’s Cafe will debut ten new dishes to allow guests to indulge in the flavors of Wine Country. From Sept. 20 through Dec. 6, the seasonal features section of the menu will include options such as Pumpkin Pancakes, a hearty feast for breakfast lovers, Wine Country Beef Short Ribs with the robust flavors of red wine and garlic, and a farmer’s market-inspired Autumn Peach Upside Down Cake for dessert. These items are created to showcase the bountiful variety of produce, meat, seafood and wine that is available during the harvest season.
