We started our trip with a stop at Imagery Winery to pick up a wine club shipment. We like Imagery a lot, it has many interesting varietals. Since it was lunchtime, we sat on their patio and had lunch. Since it was our anniversary, we had a bottle of wine.
Â
Then we headed on up to Chateau St. Jean and tasted some wine on their back patio.Â
Later, we had a fabulous dinner at Cyrus in Healdsburg. We’ve been there several times before and have never been disappointed. John had Thai marinated lobster with avocado, melon and hearts of palm, sea bass with sweet corn and spring onions, mussel and saffron sauce, pompano with cannelini beans, trotters and crayfish glaze, and rabbit ballotine with agnolotti and chanterelles with an olive oil froth. I had the lobster as well and also the sea bass but I also had a terrine of foie gras with lychee and tamarind and toasted crumpets and a crispy poussin with potato puree, haricots verts and morels. We started with champagne and then had the sommelier pair wine with the rest of it. It was great! We also had amuse bouche, a cucumber gelee, some sort of popsicle palate cleanser and bunch of tidbit desserts (which we didn’t order.) Even though the portions are not large at all, we were really, really full by the end.
It was a pretty perfect day. Happy Anniversary John!
