Took Eileen and mom to Carrabba's, Italian chain restaurants, last night. Carrabba's, at least the one on Belair Rd in Overlea where we went, always has good food and good waitstaff. Food and service was again good BUT their wine list Sucks. Eileen had eggplant, mom seafood and pasta, me pasta and sausage. I order a La Crema Pinot, Jes our waitress comes back, "Don't have" I order the next best pinot, again "Don't have" and she's holding the only other pinot in the restaurant which "just came in" an '04 Kendall-Jackson which I ordered and was just ok, very simple, paired ok but wouldn't buy again. I ask Jes why the restaurant doesn't have a better wine list. "Well most people order our cabs and merlot...they're our best sellers!" I've included a link to the restaurant's menu. Look at the menu and tell me how many of the dishes would pair with cabs and merlots...ARGGGGGGGG!!!!
