Our dinner at Cuvée in Napa continues. After our Meyer lemon granita intermezzo, we were ready for our third course. I was actually pretty full by this time since I’m not used to eating this much. But we had a long way to go yet.
Third course:

Dessert:
CHOCOLATE and lots of it - a trio of chocolate treats. My favorite was the hot chocolate with a small lemon-filled donut. The chocolate was so rich and thick it almost qualified as pudding, but was still drinkable. I saved this one for the finale. There was also a flourless chocolate torte topped with strawberries in pinot noir sauce and whipped cream, as well as a mocha pot du crème. It was all wonderful.
Our reservation was early, and we hoped to have a quiet, relaxing dinner and avoid any crowds. We dined at a leisurely pace and were sitting in front of a roaring fire in the cozy hotel lobby by 10pm. After all that food and wine we didn't last to see the new year arrive.
What a wonderful meal you had! I think that beef with the potatoes looks positively delicious. You made some great dinner choices!!
