So I was asked what wine with chicken liver pate? Only one3 answer, Vouvray unfortunately I already hit the Viking on Saturday but had a nice little bottle of a sec version which did quite nicely. Not as complex as the Viking but bright apples, candied fruit and a little honey a very nice first course.



The Masi was admittedly not the best choice for a steak but I really wanted to try it. It was way to pruney for meal, we will try it tomorrow.



The Chantegreve Graves was the substitute and stood in for the steak quite well though not as complex as I would have liked.



The steak was cooked sous vide and then finished on the grill, incredibly consistent medium rare we have become quite convinced, This steak would have been a bit tough cooked conventionally but in the sous vide it was juicy and tender quite memorable.


Sous vide. Makes things juicy and tender, but makes everything taste the same, so yo can serve pork and tell people it's veal ;-)

cheers, nice to see AFW still going strong

The sous vide does not enhance taste, but the steaks were finished on the grill and thus got the grill flavor albeit not as strong as a full cooking. Sauces become important with sous vide that is for sure as the seasoning does not get into the meat during cooking.

What is really nice is to meet you around. Yesterday I went to google groups to find your recipe for risotto... from more than 10 years ago.

Are you around Paris?

s.

I will have to look up my own recipe to check if I was doing anything funny back then ;-)

No not in Paris. Home in the South...

Will try to hang out here more...

cheers Santiago and all

I thought so too for a while, my first taste was veal juicy but non descript. The beef was over sauced and salty, but then Ian did duck magret and . . .

Other really nice treatments the steak finished on the grill and salmon and steelhead trout no mistaking the flavors and cooked perfectly. That is what convinced us we had made a good choice.
