Wine Tasting at Quixote

This is my favorite winery in Napa. Its in the Stags Leap district off Silverado and it was designed by Hundertwasser. Their Perite Syrah is legendary and the tour is also great. The place is like a museum too with art everywhere.

Sushi of Gari is pretty famous on the Upper East Side. Unfortunately, since I had a burger about 2 hours before I only ordered a la carte. But nevertheless, it was delicious. And I did order one special off-menu piece from the omakase, salmon with roasted tomato. Whoa. The Black Seaweed salad was also bomb.

Truffled Egg Toast @ Inoteca

I wasnt super impressed by the salads at Inoteca in the lower east side but I did enjoy the truffled egg toast. It consisted of a thick slice of brioche with a truffled egg (probably an egg stored in a container with a truffle overnight) and fontina baked on top served over sautéed asparagus. It also comes with bottarga. I opted for the original.
