Ham and asparagus quiche – Bouchon Bakery

Ham and asparagus quiche - Bouchon Bakery
With greens. $9
Bouchon Bakery, Yountville CA

A nine dollar quiche that I had to wait 20 minutes for in an uncomfortable, dizzying mad-house? No thank you. I’ve learned my lesson. The quiche was tasty (probably because there was a pound of butter in it) but I couldn’t get over the wait and stress. If you must visit Bouchon Bakery, I would suggest not getting anything that needs to be heated up or prepared in any way. You’ll regret it.

Caesar salad – Ad Hoc

Caesar salad - Ad Hoc
Romaine hearts, Italian anchovies, brioche croutons, crispy capers, creamy parmesan dressing. Pre fixe dinner $52 each
Ad Hoc, Yountville CA

I really love a well balanced caesar salad, and this one was perfect. The brioche croutons and crispy capers added extra crunch against the delicious dressing, and the robust anchovies added a sporadic zing. Everything tasted so fresh, noms!

Cabernet sauvignon 2010 – Clos Du Val

Stags Leap District. $80
Clos Du Val, Napa CA

This winery was pretty good. Our tasting attendant was cool and informative. They have reserved bungalows outside otherwise you have to sit in the common space to relax which is still fairly decent. I really liked this cabernet sauvignon so we bought a bottle to drink outside. Ahhh!
