Our friend cooked a spectacular homemade dinner for us last night with some phenomenal wines. He made fantastic spicy pasta with sautéed lobster, red jalapeño, garlic and scallions; excellent baked potato with a soft boiled egg and topped it with tonnato sauce; soft shell crab francese; venison 2 ways- venison chile and venison medallions wrapped with corn cob smoked bacon, sautéed mushrooms, wild rice with toasted peanuts and cumin; excellent lyonnaise onion soup; refreshing salad with kiwi, radicchio, avocado, pine nuts and scallions; some of the phenomenal wines we had were a 2012 Caymus cabernet, a 1981 Beronia Gran Reserva Rioja that was still going strong after 38 years, 1986 Ridge Jimsomare red zinfandel that went great with that awesome spicy pasta dish, and a Heitz Cellars port that went great with the 2 desserts of sublime key lime creampuffs and baked apple custard tart that was baked inside the crust with fresh blackberry sauce on the side. We also started off with some vidalia onion sandwiches with trout roe.
