While we done eat pork or seafood, this event reads like a wonderful experience.

Dang this is tasty, especially with the devils affogato that I'm eating at current. Loads of nuttiness, coffee, fig jam, saline. Beautiful texture and not at all cloying. I hate to toot my own horn (my wife will tell you "no you don't..") but this pairing was freakin amazing. — 7 years ago

Les Monts Damnés Chavignol Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Staycation 2018 @CAA ; Josie is upstairs FREAKING OUT and we enjoyed ridiculously good mussels in a lobster curry broth, caesar salad, pork + halibut. Solid night for romance, per Danny. As for the wine, not as dry as AUS SBs, though light fruit with a quick finish. Easy to drink and would have again. Now to finish so we can eat affogato and return to Josie before she dies of a heart attack (that old dog does *not* like change) — 6 years ago

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1983

With bay leaf and cardamom ice cream with masala chai and cinnamon clove sablé. Basically an Indian affogato. You know, a classic Sauternes pairing. — 11 years ago
