Croix Estate Winery
We’re chilling up in Guerneville. It’s Sunday. We’re wine tasting at one of our favorite wineries (social distancing appropriately of course).

Wako take home meal
This was a pretty impressive platter for take home from Wako! One disadvantage is that you have the entire meal in front of you all at once instead of being doled out over time when you dine in. So, of course, we ate too quickly!

Acquerello at Home meal kit
Extending our covid social bubble slightly to include Trisha. We started with some dirty martinis and caviar. Then we had our take home dinner meal kit from Acquerello which was even better than the first time we tried them. Add a couple bottles of Croix Pinot and we’re fat and happy, but glad to see…

Flour+Water Pasta Shop
For Friday night dinner, we ordered from Flour+Water Pasta Shop. We never managed to make it to the restaurant pre-Covid, but at least we had a chance now. We started with some prosciutto. Next was an arugula salad. The pasta was an Agnolotti with a duck and pork filling paired with a 2009 barbaresco we…

Rich Table
I was getting a bit stir crazy at home and wanted to eat out. Wasn’t sure what the restaurant scene would be with covid fears running amok. No worries, this place was full. We’d been meaning to eat here for awhile. Relatively casual place. We had a nice table at the window. We went for…

Benu
We both had PTSD from the horrific meal we had on Valentine’s Day at the Waikiki Marriott last Friday (to be fair we didn’t have a reservation so had to go where we could) so we wanted to cleanse our palates back in the safe confines of San Francisco. This was the last 3 Michelin…

Izakaya Rintaro
Impromptu dinner since we were at Rainbow Grocery and this place was around the corner and looked interesting. We sat outside since we were walk ins and that was all that was available. It worked out since our was a lot quieter outside than in.

Mister Jiu’s
#36 another place we’ve been meaning to try for awhile. Started with some very tasty cocktails at the bar. We definitely over ate since we wanted to try so many different things. Started with the Dutch crunch pork buns, then the oxtail soup, mu shu mushroom with peanut hoisin sauce, potstickers, and then dungeness crab…

Niku Steakhouse
For a steak geek like me this ended up being a fantastic experience. I am so routinely disappointed with steak at restaurants, since we cook ourselves on the big green egg, that I will rarely ever order steak at a restaurant. Here, we had the best seats in the house IMO where we were front…

Wako
#35 one of the better omakase we’ve had. Small venue, 5 tables and the sushi bar (unfortunately we didn’t get seating at the bar). Andrea Setterholm was the only non-Asian in the restaurant, surely a good sign . Ingredients were excellent (sourced from Japan(of course), Spain, and Turkey). Meticulous preparation and great flavor profiles. So…
