I got back from a trip to Madrid and Cairo Wednesday. Haven’t had a chance to write anything up or go through the pictures yet, but in the meantime, here’s the scoop from dinner at Jacobs & Co. last night.

• Freshly shucked oysters
• Jacobs Caesar salad
  • Sergio Mottura 2009 Brut
• 9oz prime Angus striploin from PEI, aged 30 days + sautéed rapini w/ anchovy butter, chili flakes + braised onions w/ Armagnac, butter
• 12oz Sekai Ranch Wagyu ribeye from Puslinch, ON + duck fat french fried potatoes w/ tarragon
  • 2009 Etude Cabernet Sauvignon
• Glasses of 1929 Don Pedro Ximenez

Believe it or not, that 1929 PX was a consolation prize. Our server showed us something special: a bottle of 1863 Madeira. We didn’t have any — it cost $500 a glass! — but man was I tempted.
