Thanks Delia — reviewing all this info has made me so ready to visit again. Really a lovely place. May have to at least pour myself a bourbon this evening… Cheers!

Being a Lexington KY girl myself, I’d highly recommend Robyn’s Bourbon Trail trip for anyone who hasn’t experienced the best of The Bluegrass here in KY…and if you can coincide it with the Bourbon Festival-even better!!

Comment on Grüner what? by Delia

My first Gruner Veltliner was a gift…a vey cool bottle w/a black & white photo of 2 maids feeding a deer out of an old house’s window on the label. I displayed it for a long time assuming it was a sweet wine like a reisling & thought the bottle label would be better than the wine. At a French winebar in Lexington I finally saw one on a menu & after the owner told me about the grape when I mentioned ‘owning a bottle’, i tried their’s by the glass. Its a fantastic dry white and I of course went home & drank mine promptly! Happy to say I’m seeing them more on winelists including the next one I had on NOLA’s winelist in the French Quarter,New Orleans. Do yourself a favor & give it a try if you were afraid of it being sweet…

I was wondering who shot that duck for you—-then I finally read that you bought it at Whole Foods! Oh well, sounds like it was fun and good ANYWAY!!

Comment on Roasted Sea Bass with Potatoes, Capers, Thyme & Olives — Paired with Chardonnay by Teddy

Love this recipe. I add a handfull of chopped white onion, and it was delicious. That’s for the wine pairing. The Biltmore Reserve 2010 Chardonnay Sonoma County was perfect!

Robyn ~ Your blog is always so much fun to read! Thank you for all of your wonderful suggestions, particularly the book, River of Colour the India of Raghubir Singh, WHICH will make a fabulous birthday gift to both my sister (who has lived for 3 years in India (now back in NYC)) and my daughter, who is close to becoming engaged to her phenomenal Indian physician boyfriend!
