You hooking up with Larry and Bob today?

tommykendall · Apr 28, 2010

Very nice. Seems a little absurd what these wineries get for their tastings though.

BBQ Grail · Apr 28, 2010

Had lunch with JD and his wife today. It was a great time. JD has the group picture. And Bob (landarc) has a picture or two, but here's a couple I took of the important stuff.

While waiting for everyone I stopped in the Whole Spice store at the Oxbow Public Market and picked up a few things.

Then over to Gott's for some lunch:
Texas Burger...

My sweet potato fries:

Landarc's Onion Rings:

My Pork Kim Chi Burger with Hoisin mayonnaise

More of the Spice place where I found BBQ Grail grazing through the spices

It was great to meet JD and his wife, great folks with a real passion for food and drink. There was some excellent cheese involved as well.

BobBrisket · Apr 28, 2010

Enjoy!!

You do know that I'm hating you right now. :mad2::wink:

So, how do you suppose I could go about making one of those bad boys?

Old Smoke · Apr 29, 2010

JD sorry I missed meeting you and your wife.
When I read that you were going to the "Wine Country", I did not realize that included Mendocino County (most only think of Napa and Sonoma Counties) . Anderson Valley and the Mendocino Coast are in our backyard. Booneville is less than 20 miles from our house. DANG! BUT I already had commitments (friends flying into Sacramento from WA.) Maybe next time

Enjoy the rest of the trip. Have fun...

JD, sorry I could not make it over, I have been fighting a chest cold all week. If you are still in the area, go over to Fort Bragg (next to Mendocino) and visit Glass Beach. It is actually where the old dump was located and all of the old bottles have broken up and been polished by the wave action. It is beautiful.

Tell me about it...$200.00 dollars later and not even a buzz to show for all our efforts...:tsk:

Here's a couple of pics from our meat-n-greet...Larry forgot the REAL important stuff...:becky:

Bob and Larry waiting on us to finish our wine and cheese pairings...we tossed them a crumb or two...:twisted:

I had the fish tacos...Rhana the California chicken burger...spicy sweet potato fries and onion rings...great lunch!

Bob didn't talk much during lunch...:laugh:

It was a good time...very nice meeting you both!

landarc · Apr 29, 2010

My dinner was in that meat case.

landarc · Apr 29, 2010

TK, Napa has gotten out of line with the tasting costs, I am wondering if they are going to stop charging as much now that may of them are on the ropes financially. Sonoma and Mendocino are a lot cheaper in that manner.
