90 Acres!
My wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I chose to eat at 90 acres.
I have been to 90 acres and number of times and have befriended the sommelier Bonnie. She has gotten to know my tastes, so I put myself in her hands each time I visit. She never fails to come up with interesting and different wines. The first 3 pictures are the wines she picked out for us.
Picture 1 - A wonderful "Boz Scaggs" montage! deep, complex, and very well balanced. (Boz makes good music also)
Picture 2 - A fantastic Portuguese blend of touriga and tinta grapes. Rich, Deep, and earthy. Simply wonderful!
Picture 3 - A wine from Corsica that is a "not too distant" cosine of the San Giovesse grape. This was very interesting in that it was a red that could pair well with fish. After tasting it, I remarked that I smell and taste the ocean. Bonnie just nodded saying, "exactly".
Picture 4 - a shot of just some of the wine racks they have...
Food: At first, I was good about taking pictures of each dish. As the evening wore on, and I got caught up in the fun of it all, I forgot to take pictures. Here are the appetizers we had..
Picture 5 - Cold cucumber soup. Nice and herbal
Picture 6 - Foie Gras tureen - this was especially yummy!
Picture 7 - 100 day aged Asian beef - Was excellent!
Picture 8 - Quail in a plumb sauce with smoked sour cream-
Picture 9 - The place has an open kitchen. Fun to watch how hard the staff works.
Picture 10 - A shot of the bar and just a very small portion of the wine racks they have
