Actually this was an awesome dinner that Robin made.

So how good was that? I’d say, “Awesome and full of surprise flavors.” Look at the recipe for the Massaged Kale Salad. That is a real surprise for being a raw salad. The kale is not tough or sharp or bitter. It is very good. We served the entire dinner with a 2008 Root:1 Chardonnay. A Chilean wine from the Cassablanca Valley, that is outstanding. Look for the “… melon, honey and toasted hazelnut” flavors. A powerful, but not overpowering, Chardonnay. Even at this age! Good balance of acid and alcohol – 13.8%. Cheers!
