Uncorking Cork

Max & Erica (yes, that's who we are) went to Cork last night. Made a reservation and were kindly seated early. Cozy place, very nice ambiance. Friendly and helpful staff. Obviously, we started off with some wine. Max had the Languedoc, medium-bodied, very refreshing. Erica had the flight of Chenin Blanc and followed it with a French pinot noir. Then, we moved on to the small plates. Crunchy, garlicky fries with an Indian-spiced ketchup. Delicious stewed kale topped with slices of parmigiano. Sweet oil-cured tomatoes on toast. Mesclun salad. Fried rock shrimp and calamari. Finished with an amazing goat cheese cake and tawny port. We were excited by our first trip and look forward to further wine explorations.
