Pleasanton, California, April 7, 2016—
DINNER WITH A COUSIN in a town we've never visited, in a small-plates-and-flatbreads place that turned out some pretty good food. My companion was enthusiastic about her salmon, a fish I never associate with the Mediterranean: it was grilled and garnished with tomatoes and lots of capers.
I was happy with these two little lamb chops, grilled to just the right point — the waiter made a point of asking how I'd like them — and served with grilled asparagus and a red pepper coulis, I suppose you'd call it.
Viognier, Bonterra (Organic; Mendocino County), 2013: quite nice
