Preveza

Sunday, July 15, 2012

Seven of us  decided to have dinner at Preveza in Los Alamitos after attending the play "Sideways". It was an enjoyable why to end the day. Good food, good wine and great company.

The foods that were order was a wide variety. I had the "Aegean" dish which consisted of mussells, clams and shrimp in a white wine sauce over  pasta. This dish is always a winner. The food has always been good here. Along with a few other restaurants we do not get back here often enough. Uda the waitperson told us they are changing the menu and pricing. Business has declined and I did notice the place wasn't as crowded as it was when we were there previous times. They also charged us corkage of $5 per person which they had done in the past.

The wines tonight were a real mixed bag and most of them were very good.

2009 DiBruno Pinot Grigio
2011 Longoria Albarino - one of my favorite wines
2009 Clos Pepe Chardonnay - another favorite
2008 Couvillion , red blend
2007 Dusty Goose Ranbouillet - I did not taste this wine for some reason
2006 Sea Smoke Botella - good but not showing as well as it should
NV   Laguna Canyon Brut - a little to sweet for me but others really liked it
2007 Roar, Gary's Vineyard, Pinot Noir - always a winner
2006 Ken Brown, Cargassachi Pinot Noir - another winner
