    Glasses.

    Paulo and Bill does it yet again.

    Great night, Napa Valley wines, wonderful food.



    The Bordeaux was ill paired with the shrimp, but I dislike Bordeauxs in any event. It would have been better with the beef.

    The Cab (had two glasses of this) was perfectly paired with the pork, absolutely magnificent because it just danced with the chutney and they boosted each other wonderfully.

    I don't think any of the reds would have worked with the shrimp; it was great, it just wasn't red material.

    I have never had a genuine Bernaise sauce before; it's interesting, but not really my thing. You could really taste the yolks.
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

      Looks like a great meal, and a pretty reasonable price.

      I did think the red with the shrimp was an odd pairing. Seems like it kind of begs for a chardonnay, or maybe a chablis.

        Very sensible.

        Very boring too

          I am going to drink the 4 beers I have in the fridge (well, 2 now) and then evaluate the situation as far as tonight is concerned. Further information: I have to make sure I am at work at 730 sharp tomorrow.

              I suspect he will be forced to drop his drawers and run the gauntlet through Zucotti Park getting spanked by clown-nosed "street artists." It's the only just punishment.

                Essentially none. I suppose "have to" should have been in quotation marks.

                  As many as possible without alcohol poisoning.

                    As many as possible until alcohol poisoning is achieved.
