Hunter,
You turned me on to Querciabello and Querceto, thanks, I like both. Which other Chianti do you like?

Hey Spo. Hmmmm. Have several good ones but what I have now and enjoy currently include Monsanto, Selvapiana (a little pricier), Antonori. Not too many others nowadays for me. Food matches.

I have been meaning to pick up a Monsanto. Thanks.
Another group of friends in town on business. Went to the brasserie on top of the Oxo tower. Awesome views of London at night.
I started with some grilled squid with chorizo. Main was a roasted spiced lamb rump with baby ghanoush and chorizo chickpea tagine. Wine list was ridiculously marked up, but the waiter helped pick out a nice 2005 Cotes de Nuits that was a nice pair with everyone’s meal. Food doesn’t justify the price tag here, but the views at night are spectacular. I would recommend just going for a drink.

Mexican food in London...bad choice.
By the way, Corona is really popular in pubs here. With all these cool small production cask beers here, people are still paying twice as much for a Corona!! It’s not just the new pubs, these old rickety pubs that have been around for 100 years are selling Corona, Budweiser, and red bull based cocktails. It’s insanity!!
I saw this older “proper” english lady the other day eating a meat pie with a Corona. Got to be kidding me! Rant over.

We're going to a jazz club for dinner with some friends tonight, so I'll either have bad food with some good music, or barely decent food with some crappy music.
I don't believe I've ever been to a club that's really good in both respects.

The other night I tasted my friend's pistachio-crusted sea bass. Awesome. Should've ordered it, but I wanted something to pair nicely with some nice red wines.

heirloom tomato salad (man, I LOVE tomato season, which has gone on later than usual here!), rack of lamb with chanterelle sauce, roasted potatoes with rosemary, steamed baby bok choy, 1998 Peter Lehmann Mentor
B-day dinner and I get to cook - how does that work?!? 
Actually, I planned it that way - the past three weeks of work have been total horse-shiitake, so a night cooking was actually therapuetic. Anyway, how about braised beef short ribs, sticky rice, and snow peas. Braising liquid (rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, chili-garlic sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic and ginger) was reduced and spooned over the finished ribs and rice, then dusted w/toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Perfect match to some '05 Mauritson Rockpile Road Vineyard Zinfandel.
