Cafe Bizou and the Skirball

Sunday. February 26, 2017

 Met at the Skirball Center for the exhibit of Roy Lichtenstein works. Pop culture artist in the 60's, 70', 80's.  Small exhibit but quite interesting. We had time to take in some of the other gallerys at The Skirball before heading down the freeway to Sherman Oaks for dinner at Cafe Bizou. www.cafebizou.com.

Eight of us for dinner tonight and nice array of wine. Menu heavy on seafood. I had the Parmesan encrusted Alaskan sanddabs for dinner. Good selection for me.

The wines were eclectic . Broad range.
2011 Clos Pepe, Sta. Rita Hills, Pinot Noir, sluty
2009 Clos Pepe, Sta . Rita Hills, Pinot Noir, voluptuous
2008 Cade, Napa Cabernet Sauvignon,  very good, could have gone several more years
1014 Torti White Pinot Noir, excellent with the seafood
2009 Williams Selyem, Rochioli, Pinot Noir, best red of the night
2013 Sanford, Block 5, Pinot Noir, good but young
NV Launois, Quartz, Grand Cru, Brut, outstanding

We were entertained by one of our dining companions,  Rich who is a professional magican. He even got up and did a small performance for the table next to us who were celebrating a birthday.
