A delicious dinner at Luma, far surpassing any meal we’ve had there before. The menu:tuna sashimi “thai style”
ginger juice, nectarines, thai basil, lemongrass sorbetvidalia onion-cauliflower soup
creme fraiche, siberian caviarflorida keys lobster hush puppies
cucumber-mint tzatziki, bermuda onion salad, sumacsteakhouse wedge
iceberg lettuce, cherry tomato, applewood bacon, red onion, gorgonzola dolceprato meatball
preserved chanterelle, parmesan, garlic breadcrumb
laughing bird shrimp tortellini
maitake mushrooms, brentwood corn cream, denise’s eggplant agrodolce
idaho rainbow trout
black and white quinoa, walnut, braised scallion, pickled peppers
heritage pork tasting
roasted pork loin, braised pork belly, chili sausage, bacon roasted la ratte potato
peach pot de crème & chocolate malt milkshake
peach jam, brown sugar sorbet & caramel, vanilla cream
The wines: Four flights of three wines, blind. In each flight, something doesn’t belong. Our job was to find it. We were about half right. The two biggest shockers were that nearly everyone had the ’64 Latour swapped with the ’88 Tignanello(!) and the ’83 Dunn swapped with the ’82 Margaux. I need more Dunn.
