Bonaparte

I apologize in advance for being uncharacteristically laconic with this post. Not even sure why, but maybe it's better this way.


Oct.9. fancy-shmancy Game themed tasting menu at Bonaparte to celebrate the beginning of the hunting season. Fix price, fix menu, fix drinks. Everything game with wine pairings.


Beaver bavaroise with baked apples - Louis Tollet ler Cru La Grande Cuvee

Little piece of dark meat possibly manufactured by Michelin in between tiny pieces of white toast that had achieved a new level of staleness under the warming lights. Liked the champagne.


Moose meat consommé with elk liver and mini cheesecake - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2006 Domaine des Relagnes

Delicious with absolutely gorgeous white, no refilling the glass though - cheap asses.


Wild Duck Terrine with whortleberry glaze - Saint-Joseph " Le Prieure" 2005 Domaine Jean-Luc Colombo

Horribly dry with mouth smackingly sweet paste all over it that would've been at home with a banana split. Good wine though plus by now the wait staff knew that just one glass is just not gonna do it.


Roe deer Carré with A PORCHINI MUSHROOM and some nightmarish white beans stuffed pastry thingy - Châteauneuf-du-Pape "La Roquette" 2004 Vignobles Brunier

Overcooked, with ... no really one tiny piece of a mushroom. Love that wine, always will.


Pomegranate Granitee

Sugary slush that's more sugar than slush, should be the other way around.



Wild Rowan cake with Chocolate Fondue - "L'Arbre du Voyageur" VSOP Martinique

Poundcake like white substance that was extremely dry, excellent chocolate and WOW to the Rum.


Fresh mint tea

It was just effing tea, I was hoping for a Morrocon style The a la Menthe. No such luck.
