nd regarding my recent conversations with Chez Pierre, it only seemed appropriate that J and I would lunch last week at Bistro Jeanty, a classic French bistro in Yountville, in the Napa Valley.One word: Wow! Bistro Jeanty has a great 'atmosphere', with full bar and several small rooms, which create the feeling of intimacy. The menu is to die for, with all kinds of goodies like moules "brule doigts" (wood oven roasted mus
sles with grey salt and olive oil), quail and porcini risotto, a selection of cheeses, and poulet au citron (stewed lemon chicken with garlic cloves and roasted artichokes). Me? I went old-school (I know, I know--surprise, surprise): to start, I had their Crême de tomate en croute (tomato soup in puff pastry) which was fabulous: light, yet with concentrated tomato flavor, then coq au vin (chicken, mushrooms, bacon, and red wine stew) and a side of buttered egg noodles. Ahhhhh, I can't 
think of three more resplendent words in the English language than "buttered egg noodles." (Note: they must be in that exact order.) J'aime cette nourriture!

I'm glad I came across your blog - we try our best to make it to Napa / Sonoma at least once a year and I love hearing updates on new places to try. Do you like to cook as well? We're having a mushroom recipe contest and mailing the winner 2 lbs. of fresh morel mushrooms. Recipes can be submitted to http://marxfoods.com (contest link is under the Kobe burger)
