    , ,

    This was our first evening after driving up to Napa. After a lot of our meals, Andrea always talked about being able to just go up to our room right afterward instead of having to drive or take an Uber/Lyft/Waymo back. So, this was our chance since we were staying on property at Auberge du

    Andrea has been under the weather and had a craving for some hot and sour soup. So we ran some errands and then stopped off at Dumpling Kitchen for dinner. She ordered the Hot and Sour Soup and the Dry-Braised String Beans. I was determined to order things that we had not previously ordered here,

    I’ve been meaning trying to get a reservation here for a little while and ended up with one on a Saturday at 7:30pm, not our usual night out out (which is Thursday and Thanksgiving when we had a nice meal at Copra) and later than we normally like to eat out (we’re old farts). The

    We didn’t want to cook for Thanksgiving and neither did Kirsten and Greg so we all decided to eat out. Understasndably, there aren’t a lot restaurants open on Thanksgiving, but fortunately Copra was. We love eating here and expected it would be even more fun with four of us so that we could order more

    K&L Wines Grand Burgundy Tasting

    We don’t often go to the wine tastings at K&L, but I happened to be checking my e-mail and checked out what events they had going on. We’ve been out of town in the past for this event, their Grand Burgundy Tasting, so we had to go. The good thing for this event was that

    Peter and I were trying to figure out where to eat before the game. Unsurprisingly, everything at Thrive City was booked. So we looked in the surrounding area and the Dogpatch was a great option and we ended up picking this place. Andrea had ordered the olives, the roasted squash & cauliflower salad, and the

    This was our third time dining here, but it had been more than about 2.5 years since we had last eaten here. We sat at the counter again in the exact same spot. Out of simplicity/laziness, we just did the set menu again. First dish delivered was the San Ten Mori sashimi course which included

    This was our last chance to see Kristine before she flew back. We’re glad she recovered enough from being sick for the previous couple days. Andrea had the La Misión, I had the Chartreuse (green) served neat, and I think Kristine had the Old Dock of the Bay. I don’t try anybody else’s drink other

    Kristine arrived this and I figured she hungry and want something good to eat. Dim sum is always an easy choice and we’ve been favoring Dragon Beaux as of late. It was packed and plenty of people waiting to get. Even with a reservation we had to wait 10-15 minutes. We ordered the Five Guys
