Had a fantastic dinner recently during the Wine Country Inn's Return Guest Reunion. Chef Bernardo Ayala of the Catering Company at Silverado Brewing Company prepared a wonderful meal: Maine lobster salad, pan-seared filet mignon, and, for dessert, dagoba organic bittersweet chocolate cake with raspberry ganache and passion fruit coulis. Wonderful! We also had wines from Benessere Vineyards, which make Italian varietals in the Napa Valley. All in all a wonderful time: great food and wines... and new friends from all over the country.
Every Meal a Feast celebrates my adventures--and misadventures--with great food, great wine, and fun times. The inspiration for this blog comes from one of my all-time favorite movies, "Big Night" (see pic above), while the name comes from a friend, who once said he tries to live life like: "Every day's a holiday, and every meal a feast."
Where I Live / Eat / Drink
Sonoma County /Napa Valley CA (with travels all over the world...)
Stay tuned for the next Every Meal A Feast "Gathering" in which you can join fellow EMAF readers for a special dinner where we'll share great food and wine, renew old friendships, and make new friends. (For info about our first Gathering, see the post of Sept. 21: We Meet the Meat Monkey.)
