Runs with knives!
This evening, a large group of us (Ted, Angel, Cindy, Denise, Mike, Greg, Parnell, Raven, Heather, Brian, Milan, Mike, Nicki, Wendy, and me) went to the third-Tuesday Wine Dinner at the Iron Horse Inn. Wendy & I have been attending this monthly event as often is we can…
Tonight’s dinner was the monthly Wine Dinner at the Iron Horse Inn. Ted, Tracy (her first wine dinner in some time!), Angel, Mike, Greg, Wendy, and I met at ‘the Horse’ to partake of the following menu: The Iron Horse Restaurant Treats From Our Cellar…
This evening, I went to a Wine Dinner hosted by a local wine store at Rondo’s Restaurant in Western Hills. Wendy had a beauty treatment after work, so it was just Ted, Tracy, and me.
We sat at a communal table with Bob, Phyllis, Lenore, and Charlie (hi gang!) and enjoyed six or seven different wines and a four-course meal including salmon skewers, roasted duck breast, and pot roast. Being insatiable, our table also ordered dessert from Rondo’s menu. I enjoyed my fresh fruit Sabayon very much and liked that it was presented on a plate instead of in a glass, and Ted & Tracy made quick work out of the “Black Magic” cake.
Despite not feeling well (I think I’ve caught an early-fall cold or something), I’m happy to have gone! Thanks for inviting me along, Tracy.
Tonight we attended a Wine Dinner at the IRON HORSE INN. Wendy and I have been attending most of the wine dinners there for the last four years or so, and this was a particularly enjoyable one, as it contained one of the best single courses &…

The Iron Horse Inn Restaurant & Vintner Select presents:
Frog’s Leap Winery
This evening, we dined at the Iron Horse Inn for their monthly “third-Tuesday” wine dinner, this one focusing on wines from Frog’s Leap Winery.
First Course
Fried Spicy Salmon Roll, Plum Sauce & Sweet Soy
2005 Sauvignon Blanc
I thought this course was very successful. The salmon roll was large, well-prepared, and very tasty.
Second Course
Tuna Tartare 3 Ways
2005 Chardonnay
I love tuna. I love tartare. This was a very nice dish — LOTS of tuna on each plate. I enjoyed more than my fair share because one of our fellow diners (hi Doug!) doesn’t love seafood and was ready to share.
Third Course
Duck Rillette
2003 Merlot
Rillette! Who does rillettes on a menu anymore? This was a wonderful throwback dish that was very enjoyable. Most folks at my table didn’t know what rillettes are and had never tasted it. Everyone enjoyed it.
Fourth Course
Strip Au Poivre, Cigar Smoked Grape Tomatoes
2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
Oh, those tomatoes were awesome!
Dessert
Blackberry “Death By Chocolate”
2004 Zinfandel
This evening was the first-Saturday Wine Dinner at the Iron Horse Inn. Wendy & I joined a bunch of friends at the table for a great meal. Our party was 13 people strong! We love taking new people to the Iron Horse — all we have to…
