Yeah, good stuff.

I’m with you and Mistake though. That Glenmorangie 12/18 is absolutely spot on for those of us that like it neat. I feel like the Quinta Ruban is more of a “with dinner” drink as opposed to those others which are more of a “wind down by the fire” drink.

I'm screwed. I got too content on landing beef at 5.

(I'll make this look pretty later).

- Prime Rib with au jus and horseradish

- Pan fried portabello mushroom caps

- Creamed Spinach with artichoke hearts and portabello mushroom

- Yukon gold smashed potatoes with horseradish

- Glass of Malbec

I’ll say this, that’s absolutely in my top tier fall/winter/holiday food item. Give me a nice house salad and some fresh bread to go with it, and that’s as good as it gets IMO. :)

I focused too much on the au jus and horseradish at the end - didn't even think of dessert (I'm not much of a dessert guy to begin with).

I'll go with a store bought Sara Lee cheesecake for dessert...

Once all the meals are presented everyone will vote for their top 3 meals.  You need to put your top 3 in order, each first place vote will receive 3 points, second place 2 points, third place 1 point.  You can't vote for your own dish.  The top 2 remaining dishes will go head to head in a separate thread with a poll available for the general public to vote on.

Pre-dinner cocktail: Manhattan

Dinner:

Grilled Chilean sea bass with Cajun seasoning with pappardelle noodles cooked in a white sauce made from Chardonnay/garlic salt/half and half/lemon juice/pecorino romano/sundried tomatoes.  Paired with Chardonnay.

After dinner drink: bourbon

 

I probably won’t even pick my own dish, but bourbon, manhattans and wine ain’t a bad meal.  Plus there’s food too.
