Last night three of us (Lindsay has a sib in town) walked through an unseasonably warm day to get to dinner at Ladybug Wine Bar. The hostess noted that my geometric Cerberus t-shirt matched our party’s number.

We ate in waves:

• wave the first
  • tomato-feta mousse crostini
  • crispy chicken & shrimp wonton
  • french green salad
  • three flights of wine (sparkling riesling, verdejo, chilled barbera, bobal)
• wave the second
  • focaccia
  • gailan broccolo and hickory smoked yogurt
  • pil pil prawns
  • glasses of bordeaux white + pinot noir + blaufrankisch
• wave the third
  • baked camembert w/ honey & hazelnuts
  • three glasses of bordeaux red

It was all really good, but the prawns were a particular favourite.
