| - Some friends treated us to An Evening in Tuscany 5-course meal for my husband's birthday, and I do mean Treat. It was our first time even in the restaurant and needless to say it made quite an impression when upon our arrival we were greeted by President/Head Chef Jim Alexander, and a glass of sparkling bubbly. From then on it was one delight after another, as we experienced our first wine and food pairing event. From the foie gras soup (heavenly!) paired perfectly with a 2008 Tuscan Merlot, to the fresh pasta, griddled squab and prime sirloin, each with its own wine accompaniment, not to mention the endless warm rolls, we discovered many new wines and many new foods. Lucky for us we were seated with some very seasoned food & wine experts who do this sort of thing sometimes more than once or twice a week, so they clued us in on how it all works. I love roasted Sage now, too. Who knew?! We had a great new culinary experience, and surely wouldn't mind if anyone wanted to treat us again!
