She likes it! Karina likes it!

Wonderful dinner last night at Zucca with Aash, Graham, Itch, Preeti and Lynne. There was an excellent vegetarian antipasto plate with sunchoke and radicchio that everyone seemed to greatly enjoy and Karina very much liked her rissoto.

Of course the focus of the night were the wines. The '97 La Fleur-Petrus was nice (although not sensational) but the '85 Dow's was fantastic. This was Karina's first port - what a place to start! - and she thought it was delicious. Very nice and jammy, with that classic vanilla edge.
