Nayada

Wednesday, August 22, 2012

Margie organized this dinner at Nayada tonight for 10 of us. I had not been here in several months.

We started out with Tom Yom Soup, followed  by Springs Rolls, Sarong (noddle wrapped shrimp) and Calamari.  (Springs rolls were great. I prefer the Calamari at Seafood Palace). Our main dishes were the old standby Crying Tiger Steak and the Catfish with Apples. Added some Pineapple fried rice and plain white rice and we were happy campers.

A real range of wines showed up on the table tonight.

I brought a 2004 Meeker 4 Kings ,  a Bordeaux blend which frankly I was disappointed in. It wasn't bad but it was not the stellar wine it should have been . Meeker does not make this wine every year and it is usually very good. I also had a Borgo Magredo Prosecco.

CJ brought a 2005 Melville Terraces Pinot Noir which was showing well.

Other wines were a NV Jose Dhondt Blanc de Blanc Brut which was really good, 2008 Eveningland Seven Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir, 2011 Halter Ranch Rose, 2008 Adeladia white Rhone blend, 2003 DeMartino Liegardo Carmenere, 2001 Gundlach Bundschu Gerwurtztraminer, 2007 Kiame R'Owns (a red Rhone blend) 2010 Pear Valley Daily White and a 2004 Lapis Luna Petite Verdot.
