    Dali - bang for buck, and must try's

    's "Pedro Ximenez de Anada" (The n in anada is an ~ “enye,” but I don’t know how to type that) which is worth mentioning as an oddity. It’s ridiculously thick and syrupy sweet, like honey in a glass. There...

    Easy but different salad ingredients?

    actually no – I dont really care for sherry vinegar in salad. the vinegars I have most liked recently have been a little sweet. Montegrato makes some very expensive but good sweet vinegars – from Pedro Ximenez and Fino...

    Best in napa? (other than TFL)

    Vegas Report - L'Atelier, Rosemary's, Bouchon +

    a very nice glass of Toro Arbala Pedro Ximenez sherry to go with the creme brulee. As usual, we left with many other places we still want to try, and many we’re eager to come back to. Most interesting note for future...
