Dim Sum with the boys

Monday. January 11, 2016

Six today for Dim Sum.  A very excellent selection of wines. Not one would I turn down.

2012 Baker & Brain, Gruner Veltliner
2010 Perrin, Cotes du Rhone Reserve
2008 Stolpman, Rubens Block, Syrah
NV, Segura Viudas,  Cava
2007 Krupp Brothers, Verasion - excellent
1998 Bonnlzeaux. (Dessert Wine) - outstanding
2007 Brown Estate, Chaos Theory, Napa

We stated out with the sour, hot, spicy soup. This soup is a given for us. Then onto another given, salt and  pepper calamari. A few things off the cart, shrimp dumplings, shu mai pork, minced shrimp in seaweed and fried.

Then onto stir fried lobster with special sauce. Pain to eat since my right thumb still does not want to cooperate. Chinese greens.

Then a new dish - Singapore Stir Fry - rice noodles, shrimp, pork, vegetables and curry. Really a good dish

Last dish was filet of beef French Style. Always a winner.

Topped it off with egg custard tarts for dessert.

A nice Monday with good friends, good food and excellent wines.
