Introduction

Our group of usual suspects met last night for our monthly debauchery at Somers 202 in Amawalk, NY. It is a bit less formal than our usual haunt “Pratts Inn” and we needed a bit of change to shake things up. They provided us a private room which was nice and the food was really good. I opted for tequila cured salmon with cucumber & mango relish, avocado tostada, jalapeño lime oil as my app and then bacon wrapped monkfish with french green lentil salad, micro greens, stone ground mustard drizzle for my entree. The wines were stellar matches to the food. Someone ordered some Taramasalata,which is a traditional Greek caviar mousse, served with warm pita, olives & cucumbers - we had that with the Greek wine - an impressive match to say the least.
The wine theme was “Whites & Rose’s” – we try to keep themes in line with the seasons and what better wines to drink in July? We had a very impressive lineup of wines. My meager notes follow.

Closing

We had a ball, the private room was great to have, the service was non stop and the food was delicious. I'd happily go back again. Next months theme will be "beer" and we'll be heading back to Pratt's for a wed night bbq!
