My credit card thanks you for doing wines it cant buy!

QOTD-Frascati

QOTD: I am a big tuna tartare fan and since it is usually so delicate (both in texture and flavor, unless of course it is heavily seasoned with something), that I normally tend to go with a very crisp white wine that has a good balance of acidity and maybe a little sweetness to it like a riesling or a fume blanc or something like that.

I have never actually had steak tartare but have always wanted to try it so it will be interesting to see what some of the other folks come up with for pairings……

Top 20! Yes!

GO SAINTS!

Damn, what a tease… tasting Turley’s, but none for sale!

I like how you drank a little more wine this time ’round… 😉

QOD:

No experience with TarTar.. actually the closest I could come to this is watching Rowan Atkinson as mr Bean (no relation) try anything and everything to stop from eating a plate for his very special birthday dinner.

good show, wish I could set up a vertical tasting of something as niiice, even if 2 were of them were a PaZZZZZZ 🙂

Have fun in LA!

Ha! Kangaroos in parachutes. Now that’s a picture!

I’ve only had tuna sushi. And I’m usually drinking an Asahi beer.

Great show on Turley’s fine wines. Found the 95RP, 2001 Turley Zinfandel Moore Vineyard for $95/Bottle at Blicker Pierce of St. Helena, CA.

Last time I had tartare(and the only place I usually have it) was at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Michael Mina’s restaurant outside the conservatory has a great Tartare of Ahi Tuna. It was phenomenal…best I’ve ever had. A nice pairing w/ this (as well as any tartare of fish) would be your champagne of choice or a nice rose. A bottle that went well with the dish along with the shellfish appetizer was a Domaine Tempier Bandol Rose. I’m sure the 1990 Krug would have gone well with it…but a little on the pricey side coming off a wine list.

I have no experience with Turley because I’m new to wine.

QOD: Well, we don’t eat Tartar really in the South unless its a sauce, so the closest thing would be a tuna sushi roll for me. For that, RIESLING! Preferred brand? Chateau Ste. Michelle.

WHO DAT?

Tartare…gotta have it by Boulud in the city. Either Cafe or Daniel. I would say salmon or tuna go well with NZ Sauvignon Blanc.
