It was night two when the boys decided we needed to go for a group diner. Being a man with a refined taste and an advanced palate I demanded we dine in style. I picked The Venetian Hotel as our destination and “David Burke” was the restaurant. This was Modern American Cuisine at its best. A few pre dinner Beers (Mexican of course) and I was given the honours of ordering the wine. It was a no brainier when it came to the wine list. Flick past the American rubbish, flash past the Italian Vino a brief look at the French pretenders and BANG a good Coonawarra Cabernet. The Sommelier looked on in amazement as i dissected the wine list. The end result was the perfect match of a magnificent Coonawarra Red with a succulent piece of American Rib Eye. A few ladies at the next table over heard the way I ordered the wine with distinction and knowledge. They asked me to match their food and wine. They were so satisfied with my choice they then asked me back to their room but ladies Black Jack was calling…….
