A Wine Tasting and Dinner
We decided to try the local Indian restaurant for dinner, and on the way stopped at the tasting going on at the local wine store.
The wine tasting was good - bought 6 bottles; two of a Muscat d'Asti that Dawnise really liked (and I found the bubbles cut some of the syrupy sweet that Muscat's can have) and 4 bottles that I found pleasant.
Dinner, unfortunately, wasn't so good. As we put it walking back to the car "We went to the local Indian place, and now we really want some good Indian food." The meal started well, with some good appetizers, but the main course was almost completely forgettable. We had a Mixed Tandoori Grill that, aside from the fresh onions and peppers, had very little flavor at all. The Chicken Vindaloo looked and tasted like it was made with a Marinara sauce, and the Paneer dish was the only one of the three that was reminiscent of actual Indian food.
The place just opened, and how long it stays open will heavily influence my opinion of the Northwestern palate.

Also, their "medium hot" was so very not.
Sigh, we could do a road trip to SLO.... :) We *know* they have good Indian food.
