Start dialing at 10 am PST, 60 days exact before you want to go and don't give up.sylvie1950https://www.blogger.com/profile/00691409554634095200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-90366549899235112602008-07-09T21:48:00.000-07:002008-07-09T21:48:00.000-07:00Oh thank you so much posting all the pictures and ...Oh thank you so much posting all the pictures and the descriptions! Wonderful!<BR/><BR/>Hubby and I will have an opportunity to go in January and it is something I am so looking forward to. <BR/><BR/>I cannot begin to image how inspiring your experience must have been.

The perfection in presentation and the care that went into every aspect of each dish. I don't think that preparing any of the courses would be an easy feat. The prep steps were obviously extraordinaire. For example, the simple red bell pepper was finely diced into very tiny exact portions. The tornades of turnip and radish was exact. The pork belly was fantastic. A combination of smoky favor, crisp outside texture and tender morsels of meat. Who would have thought. G who doesn't appreciate the fine prep that went into it wanted to call it simply thick bacon, which I overlooked as his undeveloped palate. <BR/><BR/>The use of locally farmed ingredients was highlighted along with the meat sources which included earth friendly, organically raised and were politically correct (except the foie gras which is outlawed in places like Chicago.)<BR/><BR/>More than anything, you can not eat like this all the time. Rich, lots of fat and highly caloric.<BR/><BR/>I emphasize that the wine pairings were nice but very hard to enjoy because of the quantity of booze you had to consume. I did find that the pairings did compliment each course, but that was overkill for me. We chose to have local wines which were nice and which we could purchase ourselves. Corkage here is $50 per bottle which if you bring your own would be a great cost savings.sylvie1950https://www.blogger.com/profile/00691409554634095200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-12579330172377345182008-05-19T10:33:00.000-07:002008-05-19T10:33:00.000-07:00all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! what an amazing expe...all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! what an amazing experience for a foodie such as yourself.

This looks like an experience of a lifetime that you will talk about again and again. <BR/><BR/>Did you learn anything? A different way to prepare something you've never thought to do or a pairing of wine you'd like to try again? <BR/><BR/>Glad you got to realize your dream.Deborah Eley De Bonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004751898042497609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12070383.post-89594691455459528192008-05-19T06:46:00.000-07:002008-05-19T06:46:00.000-07:00i'm so jealous! thanks for sharing the experience...i'm so jealous! thanks for sharing the experience - it looks like you really enjoyed yourself.maltese parakeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878266308446241819noreply@blogger.com
