A small group of us met tonight for dinner. Terry had to cancel because he was rear ended this afternoon and needed a bit of medical attention. So it was me and 4 guys. My kind of dinner. I have always enjoyed the company or men over women. They are more honest, not catty and their mouths open to say something not just anything. All my life my best friends have been male.
The wines that were on the table tonight - 2001 Stolpman La Croce, (excellent), 2008 Prince of Hearts Napa Blend (very good), 2005 Clos Pepe VS Pinot Noir (VS is top of the line), 2005 EOS Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006 Segeshio Old Vine Zinfandel and 2009 "Goat Bubbles", Santa Maria - made by Norm Yost of Flying Goat.
Henry had brought a 1993 Dom Perignon Champagne. It had been a gift to him but unfortunately the wine was not good, No bubbles and off taste. Henry had no idea how it had been cellared before he got it. Such a shame.
So with this small group we had Lobster over thin Noodles, Beef & Broccoli, Shrimp with Green Beans, Spicy Pork Strips with Noodles and Vegetables, Sweet & Hot Soup and a Mango pudding for dessert. Glad to have the lobster. It is always a great dish but we only order it when it is a small group
