Chateau Meursault
Morning was tour and tasting at Chateau Meursault (located in Mersault of course). We tasted 8 wines (3 whites and 5 reds) four of which were premier cru and one grand cru). I liked the Pommard the best since it was so full bodied and tasted of dark fruit and Andrea’s favorite was the Corton…

Domaine Faively
We did just a little bit of touring stone Romanee-Conti and Clos Veugeot and then headed to our tasting at Domain Faiveley. Since there was a bit of rain, everyone was sent home except for our hosts so again we were literally the only ones there at the entire property, which admittedly gave a more…

Birch & Rye

There are 3 new restaurants that we still haven’t tried, but we decided to go to one of our tried and true restaurants, Birch & Rye, a restaurant with elevated Georgian/Russian cuisine. We started with a couple…

Prik Hom
low-key dinner this week at Prik Hom, a new-ish (opened in Feb) Thai restaurant on Geary in Laurel Heights. Menu has a few choices each for starters, soup, salad, curry, and stir fry.

Akikos
Enjoyed a delicious omakase lunch with Plamen to celebrate his new job. It was so great to see him and catch up and ruminate on the impact of AI on the future of humanity.
