Chinese food and wines...

[Capocheny]

E,

Give Diva@The Met a try one of these days... the food is pretty decent. (And, since it's a small boutique hotel, the ambience is relaxing and the offer great service as well.)

We gave Villa del Lupo a try a few weeks back (in the evening) and the food wasn't typical Italian. It was a "modified" Italian and I really enjoyed it.

San Fran... it's a great city and I last visited in 1999. But, we're attending a convention (Leica Historical Society) in late October and have a few tastings teed up with some wineries in the Napa Valley. Am really looking forward to the trip... and I get to pick up my Harlan's as well!

We also had dinner at Rubicon and I ended up buying a bottle of Henri Jayer from them.... it was truly an experience and I can't wait to get back there. Their wine list was incredible but then... the Sommelier is Larry Stone. What a nice man... sure knows his stuff!

Cheers
