94's Blog

Chef's been at it again! Yesterday, she spent several hours sampling wines with her top reps. Of the twenty six she tried the stand outs were three from Basil Cellars new wine maker, Justin Basil, a beautiful Haut Medoc at a very reasonable price, a nice Paullac and a revisit with Cantenac Brown's Brio.
You'll want to also watch for her to update the list with the three beauties Andrew brought in: Walnut City Pinot Gris, Schoenheitz Muscat(very dry!) and believe it or not, a very nice, reasonably priced Pinot Noir from Westry Winery.

The dinner menu's in flux AGAIN. Yeah, like that's news! Chef can't possibly leave it alone and we love that. She's got a whole new line up coming out tonight. I see Cherry Stone Clams from the East coast and a new sauce for duck. Are those foie gras stuffed mushrooms really going with the New York? Yes! Were you at the last wine dinner? Remember the avocado chutney? Chef and Kevin loved it so much, she's actually made more and is using it with a new Sea Scallop prep. You know how she is about making something over again. That must be a really really good recipe! Wwhat's that? It looks like Confit Onion Ravioli! Oh, I'm getting hungry... Gotta see that new menu!

Wow, Chef's got MORE wine samples coming in the door right now! Gotta go. It's always a blast at 94 when Chef's here. Lucky for us, she almost always is! See you for dinner tonight.
