Not beer on tapped or a free refill soda pop. Nope, a glass of red wine, well, to me at least. For the last two weeks I’ve been craving the pairing for some odd reason. So, the other day I went out for lunch with a coworker at an American Bistro Called Truxton.
I ordered The Gilly which has “Caramelized Onions, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Tomato, Shredded Lettuce, Tillamook Cheddar Cheese, Topped with Crispy Onions and Truxton’s own 1001 Island Dressing. ” I also ordered a side of garlic fries…..mmmm….garlic.
…and then I paired it with a glass of Tunnel Of Elms…..but I’m not really sure if it really made a difference to my dining experience. Actually, I could taste the “Notes of blackberries, black cherries, vanilla and cedar, finishing with cassis and cocoa” the menu mentions…well, just the blackberries…I think. Something berry was in there.
It was fun though…kind of expensive, but satisfying so I’ll try it again!
sounds fancy
