Margies Monthly Dinner at Kings Fish House

Wednesday, November 6, 2024

Kings Fish House

22 people tonight and 28 wines. Kings never charges corkage so a bit overboard on the wines.  No way to taste them all but we can always try.  I had the Macadamia Crusted Alaskan Halibut for my dinner choice. Great flavor but a bit dry. They have done better on this dish before.

I am only going to list the wines not make comments except to say the 2011 and 2014  Kostra Browne Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir was a real interesting comparison. They were both very good but I think the 2011 nudged out the 2014. I only tasted one of the bubblies and 2 of the whites. Way too many wines. If you had a one ounce pour of each wine that would be more than a bottle being drunk tonight. There are 24 ounces to a bottle. Can not function that way.
