For the main course, Mick did Grilled NY Strips with mixed veggies and roasted potatoes. He paired this with a 2002 Beringer’s Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. I was looking forward to trying Knights Valley again as it has been awhile. As the 1999 vintage sits in the Top Ten Reds, I couldn’t wait to see how the 2002 vintage was.
"NY Strip Grilled to Perfection" |
"Same as the 1999?" |
I won’t bother with an LCBO listing here as I know they are at least up to the 2006 vintage now and they don’t carry the 2002 anymore. Knight’s Valley generally ranges in price at the LCBO from $30-39 a bottle.
"At least some cake left..." |
For dessert Amy picked up a Baco Chocolate Cake for dessert. Mick cracked open a bottle of Cathedral Cellars Cab from South Africa to go with this. We didn’t formally taste or review this wine but the general impression around the table was everyone liked it.
I like to thank Mick and Amy for hosting as it was a good night. It was also very good to just have a ‘normal’ Saturday night again.
Cheers!
Mark
