Plate of assorted meats and cheeses with homemade mustard at Wined Up, the wine bar upstairs from Punch Restaurant in NYC. Meats from left to right: Wild Boar Terrine (homemade) Speck (smoked prosciutto) Rabbit Sausage (homemade) Cheeses from left to right: Leónora (pasteurized goat from León, Spain) La Tur (pasteurized cow, goat and sheep from Piedmont Italy) Pyrénées Brebis (pasteurized sheep from Pays Basque, France) To accompany this meal, I had a glass of a 2004 Les Creisses Syrah blend from the Languedoc region in France. Earlier that day, I was at the Big Apple BBQ with my friends Niteesha, Leena and Sid (Leena’s husband). Niteesha and I waited in one of the longest lines for Baker’s Ribs, while Leena and Sid got us some pulled pork sandwiches (not sure which stand). It was drizzling while we were in line, and when we finally sat down to eat, it came pouring down. When we were done licking our fingers, we decided it was time to seek shelter. We let Niteesha - the resident foodie - lead the way. She wanted to take us straight to Wined Up, but they didn’t open until 5pm, so we sat downstairs at Punch Restaurant and enjoyed some sweet potato fries and a bottle of 2007 Decero Malbec from the Remolinos Vineyard in Mendoza, Argentina. Check out my set on Flickr for more photos from Punch and Wined Up. I’m still getting used to my Nikon D90 (first DSLR) and 50mm lens, so please excuse the not-so-sharp photos.
