Dinner last night at TFL. We were with another couple who spend 3 months a year in the Napa Valley and usually eat at the Laundry 5 or 6 times during that period. SO the fact that I was a 'vendor' paled in comparison with the attention they get. Thomas even came out to say hello, which he rarely does.
That said, it was still $100/person/hour and we were very light on the wine
2005 Michel Niellon "Les Vergers" Chassagne Montrachet (excellent and a good value on the list - thank you Jason)
2003 Brogan Cellars "Lone Redwood" PN - a very burgundian style wine (corkage)
It was only 12 courses plus the beginning and ending treats, which was a good thing as I was full but not in pain as sometimes happens. And, while it is impossible to quantify the quality of the dishes, Meadowood is just as good and sometimes better. Except of course for the Oysters & Pearls.
