This meal was a night of putting names to faces. Yaacov Barselah and I joined Mike Steinberger and John Gilman for a really fun meal at corkage-free Monday at Apiary in NYC. The food was solid, service a bit slammed at times, but very wine savvy, very friendly, and just an all around awesome experience.
As we arrived and sat at the bar for a few minutes we broke into this one.
With a terrific crudo of Hamachi these followed.
My next two courses were a very nice sweetbread (not quite as crispy as I like) and an awesome pork chop atop a bed of black beans. The Rhones were screamingly good with the pork.
And finally with some cheese.

A really fun nose, seashell and snap, some mineral stink. The palate is soft at perhaps, JohnG thinks too soft and maybe on its way to premox, but as the evening waxes I thought this gained in grip and acidity on the finish and was only getting more vigorous with time.
