Interesting Wine Happenings at Dinner Tonight with Rebel Daughter

[Runnin' Rebel]

Went out to shopping at a nice outdoor mall in Summerlin, NV as she moving back home after 6 years at school in California and needs clothes and things for when she gets here and we were hungry too.

We went here:



^^Nice table tops I thought^^

It's wine bar and resturant and also retail wine and you can take it to go or have it with dinner, so we walk to the table and the wine are in their original wooden box and I saw some Faust 2014 and thought hummm..

Looking at the menu I saw no Faust by the bottle but they had it by glass though. That's strange. The by the glass price was ridiculous as usual.




Was wearing this by the way


I ask the waiter why not a bottle but had by the glass, he got this weird look and said good question. I ask him how much by the bottle, he thought for a moment and said 65.00!? I know it's 45-55 at the liquor store so I said sold before he said anything else. And by the way it's 25.00 per glass in the restaurant.

He brings it over and I just tell him to pour, no tasting drama stuff. So he pours and leaves and Daughter and I cheer each other and she took her first gulp, she's a tom boy, so she just dives right into things and after a few minutes she goes--

Dad, this wine is nothing like your Insignia, I go yes, your right it's good but different but very young. She says it's kinda tight, not much fruit or other particular flavorful tastes. Correct she was. I said what do you wanna do about it ? She calls the waiter over and ask for a decanter, I lol after he went to get it. He brought it back and she did this in a packed resturant




I just laughed again, and about 15 minutes later and huge difference and she says that's better. Very proud of her knowing her wine taste is getting better except for dumping her wine in the decanter but whatever it's funny story to me

What we ate:



Steak salad for me substituted the iceberg for romaine lettuce





Daughter pretty much dove right in to filet and mashed potatoes, which she loves potatoes but won't order rib-eye or other meats cause of my grill taste. I won't cook filet, no flavor unless I put Maytag Blue Cheese on them but they are shut down due to some bacteria issues again so can't find it anywhere.


Raspberry sorbet we split


Moral of the story: she learnt something at college
