Quite the meal…

We’ve enjoyed many excellent meals at our Chaîne events, but a recent one was memorable in that the wine pairings were so perfectly matched with the excellent meal.

Our host chef is celebrating 20 years at his establishment – a rare achievement these days. His wife is the wine importer, and obviously put a lot of effort into the matchings. The guinea hen, venison and wood pigeon were my favorite dishes, carnivore that I am.

you had me at truffled chicken liver pate’ with quince jam…

On a menu like that, are you supposed to pick only one from each section, or do you get a sampler of everything listed. Did you have all three meats?

Sigh. I just found out that there’s a Chaine in my area, so I am exploring joining.

You have such a great taste for wine that I would love to ask you for some of your favorites but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to afford them.

Yum.

I read some of your entries in Julia Child’s voice, in my head anyways. I really hope you don’t mind! Glad you enjoyed your meal. Take care,

wowwwwwww………very very enjoyable! Lots of art went into it!

I’m rather curious about the venison myself… Also, good to catch up on your writing/pictures from the last several months

Ryn: From what Ive gathered, there’s been a massive complaint by quite a few people saying that this judge overstepped his bounds and was just taking it out personally on her.. First off, he was Spanish, she says “Adios”..Id find that just a little rude..and then to flip him off.. Id say put her to work doing roadside cleanup for the 30 days in jail.. clean during the day, sleep at night.
