We went to a Judd's Hill tasting dinner at Dino last night.

The drive to the place was pure hell. took an hour to go 15 miles, had to call the marrige consular twice.

The food was unbelievably great. Forget Gallieo, and Goldini. Don't look for food like this in Italy. I have only done tosca twice, and never been to maestro. I have done 14 trips to bologna, and 5 or 10 to rome venice, florence, etc.

Selected sauages for the risoto, steak with foie gras. so rich so good

the wines included a pinot and a petit syrah that we cannot get. a 97 cab from magnum and from bottle. they were very different. a 95 cab.

wine tastings are the way to go. Dino rocks.

dino is about 50 feet from a stop on the red line metro. do not drive.
