Baci Restaurant
Another one of Margie's Monthly Wine Dinners. at Baci Italian Restaurant. Been a couple of years since we have been to Baci. Attended by 17 hungry and thirsty people. A larger group as the restaurant had not limit on the amount of people that could attend. Seated in the back dining area away from the main area with the bar and entertainment.
I ordered the Mushroom Risotto. It was OK but nothing overly exciting. I felt the amount of mushrooms was skimpy since they were the "protein" for the dish and for the price. Did not have any appys or dessert. Still have issues with the amount of food I can consume at a time. At least the weight is staying off.
17 people 20 wines. And most were empty bottles by nights end. I did taste numerous ones but since this posting is late I can't remember them all and what I liked or disliked about them. So if no comment after name of wine means I just can't remember if I tasted it or not. I brought a 2019 Laccento, di Castagnole Montferrato, Italy, Ruche. For a less expensive, $25, wine I thought it was showing quite well. Someone must have liked it as there was none left to take home.
