Replace the wine with a good craft beer and I'm in. I find beer's carbonation to be better at cleansing the palate rather than coating it. But horses for courses, and I wouldn't turn down a seat at that table.
I'm long overdue for an evening like this. Will have to plan something.
I love a good cab but these days I'm a sucker for a good Double IPA. But I'm not picky, either gets the job done ::
