Birthday dinner at the Admiral in Asheville, NC. It's always a special occasion for us at the Admiral, amazing food and great service, set in a funky old bar that looks like it was a 50s gas station. 2 things: Make reservations and go early (turns into a dive bar later). This winery was new for me, but the appellation is an old favorite especially since my time at Oregon Pinot Camp. The wine hit all the right notes, cherry berry flavors, chalky nose, lovely finish. Pinot Noir is such a great food wine, able to satisfy a table with various entrees, meat, fish or fowl.
We enjoyed several small plates at the Admiral, this was Tempura Squash blossoms stuffed with Juusto cheese (a Finnish squeaky cheese) atop ratatouille.
This was cauliflower mousse with fried shallots, microgreens, and house made crackers.
