The Factory, www.TheFactoryLB.com, redeemed itself tonight with the BYOB dinner. Tonights theme was Tuscany. I knew there would be a lot of red wines so I brought a "Vernaccia di San Gimignano". A white wine from Tuscany. One of the very few white grapes grown the region. It did pair very well with the first two dishes.
We started off with a bruschetta with fresh cheese and heirloom tomatoes. Next was a white bean and mussel soup. Both dishes were very good and paired well with the Vernaccia.
Main course was chicken breast with a citrus based marina sauce. There were 2 Brunellos brought by our group an the younger (2005) went very well with this dish.
Dessert was a panna cotta with balsamic infused strawberries.
We had decided if the restaurant did not up their game this would be our last dinner there. They came through with flying colors.
So next month the theme is Zinfandels and we will be coming back.
