Fantastic El Paseo dinner with Tre Cool & Randall Graham PLUS lots of wine!

Last night's monthly wine collectors' dinner was the best ever. Right Bank Bordeaux was the theme with lots of Saint Emilion and Pomerol, some of the highlights were '75 Petrus and '82/'86 Chevel Blanc – both phenomenal wines (everyone dug deep into their cellars)! 

Randall Graham, the eccentric mad scientist winemaker and founder of Bonnie Doon Winery, came with some friends – the event was sold out so we took over the wine cellar room, which was a mistake hahaha. We ended up drinking much more than the wines we brought….A '67 Yequim in honor of Kari and four other people in the room being born in 1967. And a few white Burgundies also from my private cellar, ouch! 

Tre and Sara Cool were there with family and friends ended up in the wine room with us, strike three!!

Henry and the kitchen staff made some  of the best food I've had anywhere in the world, ending with a well chosen, perfect selection of cheese to finish off the night. Three tables of super redheads made it — I'm sure they can testify this was BIG FUN!!! Maybe not this morning, but last night ha ha Ha ha ha

Thanks all for making these special collectors dinners at El Paseo better each month. 

Sincerely,

Sammy and Kari.
