Andrae Bopp, fennel, heirloom tomato, Scallops, seared sea scallops, Vicino

It’s just so much fun to see some of the dishes being presented at awesome restaurants such as Vicino’s in Boise or maybe even State and Lemp, which we have not been to, yet. Makes me wonder what Andrae Bopp would think of this dish. I think it was that good. Left-Click to see the dish enlarged. Cheers!

Acme Bake Shop, Boise Farmers Market, lobster, ravenswood chardonnay, ravenswood winery, seared sea scallops

Braised Sea Scallops in a Butter and Garlic Sauce. Farm Fresh Salad. 1995 Ravenswood Winery Sangiacomo Chardonnay and Toasted Acme Bake Shop Sourdough. The wine went very well with dinner. This is still a superb wine whose time has come. Time to drink it.

The wine went very well with dinner. This is still a superb wine whose time has come. Time to drink it. And then we can open our 2005 supply of this fantastic chardonnay. Hope it goes as well with this great seafood combination. The components for the salad were all from the Boise Farmers Market as was the Acme Bake Shop sourdough bread. We always eat so well at The Captain’s Shack!
