We started out tonight with an appetizer platter which included Samosas, Vegetable Pokorma, Grilled Lamb and Chicken and a platter of meat momo's. I really have to watch with appetizers as I will eat these only and not really want dinner afterwards. And usually at the start of the meal you are hungry and "pork" out.
We all ordered a separate dish and shared family style. Works better with this type of cuisine. There were 3 new people to the group tonight. Nothing new but all good dishes.
Lamb Chau Chau, Mixed Grill, Chicken Tiki Masala, Lentils Dahl, Vegetable Korma and Cheese Paneer.
Usually at these dinners we get a lot of Pinot Noir wines brought. But not tonight. The closest was a 2009 Clos Pepe Rose of Pinot and a Francois Childaine Touraine. The bubbly which always shows up when Margie is around was a NV Mas Daumas Gassae Rae Frizant.
There was a 2008 Tabalas Creek Roussane but I am not a big fan of Rhone Whites so I did not taste that one. I brought a 2004 Stolpman La Croce which was showing exceptionally well. The rest of the lineup included 2002 Hunt Ovation Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006 Lancaster Sophies Hillside Cuvee which was tasting well, 2006 Salvestrin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and a 2005 Primus Sierra Foothill Syrah. All the wines were good.
Interesting evening with the 3 new faces at the table. Excellent food and wine.
