Normally I post our own dishes, but last night's dinner was simply superb. Seamaiden and I spent a lovely evening at one of the highest ZAGAT rated restaurants in America, Taste in Plymouth, CA for...

First Course, left to right: Toasted hazelnuts, smoked Passmore Ranch sturgeon with Sterling caviar and creme fraiche, avocado mousse, fingerling potato chips.

And lastly, the "Fifth Course...Dessert, left to right: Meyer lemon sorbet, chocolate gelatto, sesame 'tuile' but it was more like candy, on top of chocolate & hazelnut ganache with sections of blood orange and Meyer lemon. Far right is a 'chocolate' bar, chocolate & Meyer lemon ganache with lemon pop rocks.

We forgot to log the cheese plate and palate cleanser! And I should have written down the wine pairings, just phenomenal and I got to try wines I probably never would have otherwise. E.G. that Reisling, just delicious. And that Italian wine they served with dessert, gotta find out what that was.

were you guys at the Downtown Sac Shootout last night?

Oh. My. God. I just read the story because Dave said, "Al just said there was a shootout in Old Sac!" So off to KCRA dot com I go and good Lord. Here I was so disappointed with myself for not being made of firmer stuff and getting so sleepy with the wine served with dinner. Now... wow. There was a reason.
