Jean Georges' Chocolate Petits Fours
Flight 1 - King Fish Sashimi (1 Note)
Sashimi is delicious, like the Zuru sauce. Wine is only OK.
Flight 2 - Steamed Garoupa (1 Note)
The Hermitage Blanc tasted oily, I'm only OK with it.
Flight 3 - Foi Gras (1 Note)
Very interesting pairing with for gras. It worked.
Flight 4 - Grilled Lamb Chops (1 Note)
Wine was only OK, failed to leave an impression.
Flight 5 - Red Wine Short Ribs (2 Notes)
Short ribs was a bit of anti-climax for me. It was good but did not live up to my expectation as the star of the night. The wines on the other hand were entirely different. They were definitely the stars of the night!
Flight 6 - Chocolate Dessert (1 Note)
I don't like sweet wines, so no comments.
Closing
A good evening. I liked the restaurant and definitely enjoyed the wines.
