I had never heard of Arneis before, but Pastiche featured it in its tastings of small Italian wineries. Very nice. Sounds like a luscious day. Jodi Karyn:

She's described our meal perfectly. It's not even breakfast time here in Tucson but I'm salivating all over again. I too could have the salad and Thai snapper ever day. I wonder if there's a Michael Mina diet plan, where they package the meals like Jennie Craig... Naaah, it wouldn't be the same. The setting, the wine pairings, and the camaraderie don't translate to anything you could get in the mail. And it was definitely a thrill to have Michael Mina hand me an inscribed copy of his cookbook for my birthday. I know I won't be able to replicate his creations but I can ogle the pictures and dream...
