Dinner tonight with the boys. Five of us in attendance. It was a parade driving into the parking lot. 3 cars in row heading for the restaurant. Perfect timing. Good group tonight. We closed the restaurant. For some reason a lot of jokes and humor tonight.
Started out with the "normal" Salt and Pepper Calamari. Can never get too much of this - very addicting. The restaurant comped us a bowl of Sweet Sour soup, which they normally do for our group along with a comped dessert.
Next dishes were the Honey Walnut Shrimp, as always great flavor and very tender and the shrimp were very fresh. Then a plate of Scallops with vegetables stir fried. Scallops were sweet and cooked perfectly.
Two more dished rounded out the meal. Beef with Fat Noodles and Black Bean Sauce and a plate of Chinese Broccoli with Pork strips. The beef was excellent and had really good flavor. The pork was ok but nothing wrong with it. Just did not wow me.
We ended the meal with Almond Pudding and Fortune Cookies. Several of us had no fortunes in our cookies so we got another order. I still had no fortune. That could work both ways.
Wines were a real mix,
2009 Domiane Pierre Guillenot, Savigny-Les-Beaune, white Burgundy. Went well with the seafood. I bought this wine at a tasting years ago at Wine Country. Glad to see that it was still as good as I remembered.
2009 Tensley, Lea, Turner Vineyards, Pinot Noir. Nice wine, took a bit to open up.
2006 Melville, Carries Vineyard, Pinot Noir. A bit disappointed in this wine. Have tasted it before and this bottle was not quite there.
2003 Antoniolo, Gattinara, Vendemmia, Nebiollio . Just past prime. Probably great last year.
2005 McKeon-Phillips, BPR, Cabernet Sauvignon - showing very well - my last bottle of 05
2008 McKeon-Philiips, BPR, Cabernet Sauvignon - not as good as the 05
