CJ, Terry & I met at Franco's for a last minute dinner. It has been a couple of months since we have been here.
We made it simple, ordered the same dish. Filet Mignon but ordered finished 3 separate ways. Terry ordered rare, I had the medium rare and CJ had the well done, And they all came out of the kitchen at the same time and cooked perfectly. That is a well run kitchen.
Started out with the stuffed mushrooms and boy could you smell the garlic - they were delicious.
Only 3 wines tonight but really good ones. When you have a small group you want to bring out the better stuff.
2011 Francois Chidaine Vouvray. Excellent with the mushrooms.
2001 Stoplman La Croce - blend of sangiovese & syrah. At its peak right now. The little that was left was better the next day.
2004 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino, Cerretalto - this was the screaming winner of the evening. We polished this bottle off fast.
We closed the place down. Last ones out to the relief of the staff.
