John Visits for Dinner



Wines: 1989 Ermitage Recolte Le Pavillon M. Chapoutier
2004 Cuilleron Viognier

We went to Campanile for Dinner on Saturday and they offered on the menu veal shank for two. We hadn't had it for a long time (it hadn't been on the menu). We ordered it we found out they were out! We decided to cook it at home.

John was coming to LA for a wine selling trip, so we informed him we would cook. John brought the wines! We purchased the meat from Harvey Gusman's meat store.

We started with the same Persimmon salad we had last week. We made polenta and added real corn to it that we had purchased at the Hollywood Farmer's market.

The meat was enormous! 2 Shanks weighing a total of 9.5 lbs. They were great and fun to present and carve!

For desert we had ice cream and cookies we had purchased at the Cheese Store of Silverlake.
