I had a great meal last night, Molly. No, no pictures. I was off duty.
A wine dinner hosted by Nigel & Monique Burton. These are always fun. Got to try some lovely wines. The Burtons are not stingy with their wine here, Molly, and will gladly open a fresh bottle and refill your glass time after time. The 2002 Shiraz is a winner. Maybe you'll get a bottle for your birthday.
Last night was at Neutral Bay Bar & Dining. I was a might excited to try it. Glebe Point Diner has a great philosophy about food. They know and care where it comes from and how it came to be. NBB&D follows the same philosophy: ethical meat, sustainable produce, line-caught fish. The starter of spice-cured tuna was unlike any fish I've tasted. Served with horseradish and blood orange. A treat. But the lamb, Molly. The lamb stole the show. Braised for 13 hours at 95 degrees. With chickpea puree, sorrel and mint. As tender as a caress. And that killer 2002 Burton McLaren Vale Shiraz.
$95 for three courses and five wines.
Burton Wine Dinners are held every few months at different restaurants around Sydney. Join the Archer Club to get the lowdown on announcements.
