Planning a picnic

So, I'm planning a picnic with some friends.

Menu -

Steak
Orzo salad,
Saute of squash

Sounds simple?

I also have to put together a picnic kit.

Dishes, utensils (including steak knives), table-cloth, napkins, serving utensils, hot-pads, and dishes for the salad and squash.

We're going to the mountains, to a place called Fenton Lake. That is actually a small, fishing pond in the Jemez mountains.

We'll take charcoal, lighter fluid, matches, Large fork, brush to scour grill, paper towels for clean up. I'll have the squash marinating in white wine and spices; and a grill pan.

And of course, wine.

Perhaps two wines.

I may make some stuffed jalapenos and perhaps some stuffed mushrooms for a starter, to go with an appropriate wine. Of course, I'll have grapes and maybe a good cheese for the finish. (may need another wine for that)
Naturally, a good wine with the main course.

Picnics are a lot more fun to plan and do now. Who needs cold fried chicken and paper napkins? (OK, OK, I'll still have paper napkins)

Copola Sofia rose for the appetizer

Copola Roso for the main course (that might change -- must review reds in wine keeper)

A nice, white ice wine (either German or Canadian) for dessert,

Yep; grown-up picnics are a LOT more fun!!
