This tasting/dinner at Bar Boulud featured two of my favorite things; the wines of Bruno Giacosa and the food at Bar Boulud. It is tempting to drink Barolo and Barbaresco with regional cuisine, and while that often results in great pairings, it is also fun to stretch out a bit and try new things as well. Our menu from Executive Chef Damian Sansonetti was brilliant. Each of the dishes was absolutely divine. I have been to Bar Boulud many times, but this was one of the best dinners I have ever had at Daniel Boulud’s casual brasserie in New York’s Upper West Side.
