QOTD: At this little restaurant near me called Cafe Juanita. I go there three times a year with my family and its always a great experience. A small home converted into a restaurant that isnt pretenious at all, even though theyre always in the top 10 Seattle lists. Great service and food. Cant wait until April when I go again.

I can’t believe this guy 3 comments down- how can anybody eat fois gras and not care in this day and age??
Gary- I hope you never ever eat stuff like that!
I presume you know what the deal is with fois gras.
Look it up if you don’t!
It’s disgusting and barbaric.
The funny thing is that the un-empathetic morons who eat it actually think they’re sophisticated in some way!
It’s absolutely rIdiculous, and a huge problem, especially amongst the type of people who are into wine. (Presumably because of their strong connection with French culture!)
I think you should speak out against stuff like that on the show!

Can’t wait to taste that 3rd wine-
Better still be able to get it! haha

GV – Had to post again on this episode. Just had another bottle this evening (Mar 23, 2008)
2 hrs decanted in the cellar – very old world, barnyard, mushrooms & a bit of hard boiled eggs on nose, earthy, smooth, a bit of sweetness, strawberries, red fruits & bacon mid-palete, a long finish but not a profoundly long finish, smooth tannins, lacks a focus point to take it that next level – something that captivates & fascinates that separates it from other wines (what I think of in a 95 pt or higher wine) very good, but not quite a 95 in my book, more like a 93 -still an exceptional value.

Bummer – I am too late for the drawing.
My best meal was in the Restaurant Jules Vernes, which is located mid-way up the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
It was a several course tasting meal with Terrine de Foie Gras with a Sauternes, scallops and Puligny Montrachet, Bordeaux and beef, port and cheese.
We followed up with a single malt (Dalwhinnie) while overlooking the city and smoking a Cuban cigar.

Well, too late to win the wine, but this QOTD is an easy one for me to answer.

I’ve had great meals in Paris, but it was my last little breakfast in Paris at six in the morning that I remember the best, and out of that meal — ham and eggs with tea — I can still taste the fresh baguette. The French bakers use different flour and yeast than we do, and of course they have their own magic techniques. The crust, the crunch, the texture — perfection.

My second favorite meal was a cassoulet in — guess where — Paris.

My third favorite meal was a duck in — guess where — Paris.

I don’t remember what wines I had with the cassoulet or the duck — maybe Cahors — but I don’t think I left an empty bottle in either restaurant.
