As usual we had a terrific meal at Vin Bar – it just doesn’t get better than this – service and cuisine is always A+
Schramsberg to start
Braciola of tuna, olive tapenade over roasted yellow peppers – absolutely delicious
On the left baby octopus with a spicy tomato sauce – Arrabiata style, parsley and on the right warm calamari salad, Romano beans, celery, olive oil – 2 perfect dishes
2nd Wine
Eggplant tortino, tomato sauce topped with ricotta cheese – I just can’t wax poetic enough about this cuisine and Chef Nico’s skill
Third wine
Gnocchi sardi, wild boar ragu, porcini mushrooms, light cream sauce, ricotta salata on top – pasta done to perfection
Rabbit stuffed with rabbit ragu and apple, lamb that had been marinated with herbs and grilled, arugula salad, pork sausage, roasted fennel – quite a plateful of wonderful food
4th wine
Cheese course – 24 month parmesan, buffalo brie, gorgonzola, walnuts, horn of Rome chutney, jalapeno and onion, black truffle honey
Blueberry sorbet, white peach sorbet, pear sorbet, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, diced peaches, almond sugar cookies – a light, refreshing end
All in all – a wonderful meal!
That looks fantastic!
Liz, do you drink all that wine between the two of you?
Richard – sometimes we will just have a glass from each each bottle – Piero does a wine pairing for us!
