Nick's was decent but nothing I would truly rave about. But it seems it's kind of an institution in town and we're glad we went. K...

had another annual favorite last night - Ameztoi Rubentis rosé. Barely blinked and the bottle was just about gone.

Tried out the America's Test Kitchen cold pan method for the first time with a Morgan Ranch Strip and Ribeye. Little butter baste with herbs and garlic for the last turn. Definitely a simpler and cleaner method, but I still think I prefer reverse sear. stk1.jpg stk2.jpg stk3.jpg stk4.jpg stk5.jpg

thanks for the data point, David

we've been working our way through some 21's. The Triennes is a winner again in 21 and always a great value.

Agree with michael on the Albe and love that feature.....the ability to consume asap with please and the ability for mid-term aging development if it gets lost in the cellar.

thank you
