St. Helena, California
Today was another relaxing day. We puttered around the coach, Geri did some
laundry, that kind of thing. We headed
out for a late lunch (or an early dinner, depending on your point-of-view) at
the Greystone Restaurant at the Culinary
Institute of America in nearby St. Helena.
We've been here numerous times before and, as always, we had another
great meal. Geri asked to be seated
along the bar separating the dining room from the kitchen, so we could watch
the cooking action. We began with their
"Temptations" tapas small bites, then Geri had a Roasted Beet and
Kohlrabi salad followed by a Seared Cod main course. I had the Sweet Corn Soup with Peeky Toe Crab
and the Crispy Chicken Leg Confit.
Everything was excellent, as expected.
We matched the meal with a Skaggs #6 Mourvedre Blend (yes, Boz makes
wine now) and we finished with their "Sweet Finale", a tapas-style
dessert plate paired with a flight of three dessert wines. We ended up chatting with everyone else
sitting at the bar, and everyone was interesting in our travel lifestyle. Another excellent outing!
