  1. Bump!

    I'm off to Negril for a week. First few days paying for an all-inclusive resort so we'll eat there. But for the 4 days after that, we're looking for suggestions.

    I've heard there's fantastic lobster to be had... but where's best? Curried goat is said to be wonderful in jamaica, but where should I eat it?

    thanks for any and all thoughts you can share with us!

  2. Funny. Didn't get this message before I left, but did decide to take both bottles.

    I read in "The Wine Bible" that Muscat Sec is drunk a lot in Alsace with asparagus, so I took this bottle from Pays D'Oc from Chateau Stony. It was delicious! But, with the shrimp and asparagus risotto, my friend and I both preferred the Australian Semillon-Sauvignon blend. I didn't like the Australian as much on its own, but it didn't overpower the flavours of the shrimp and risotto while Muscat added a lot of fruity zing which was delicious but added a bit too much.

    Anyway. There you have it. A novice's view of 2 wines with a good meal.

    Thanks for your thoughts! :biggrin: - Freckles

  3. Going to dinner tonight at a friend's place. She's serving an asparagus and shrimp risotto. I know I could take a sauvignon blanc to drink with this, but have a bottle of Muscat Sec from Stony in France. Would this pairing work, or should I stick with the sauvignon? thanks.

  4. I agree! I live in Paris and often when I return to Canada with little gifts I thought were delightfully unique, I find them sold at my local Williams Sonoma or Holt Renfrew.

    Back to the Pots a creme... I now covet a set of them: so curvy and cute and lidded as they are! However, I think I've made custard less than 3 times in my life thus far. So I must ask, can one use these adorable pots for other foods? I guess chocolate mousse, but anything else?

    Thanks,

    Serena

  5. Hey, friends. I want to meet a friend for a cozy drink tomorrow (Sunday) night. Any thoughts on a good wine bar - relaxed, nice atmosphere well-suited to conversation - that is open on a Sunday? xox S
