I ordered a 'red flight' - 3 local and international cheeses paired with 3 red wines for $33, accompanied by tasting notes explaining the provenance and flavours of the cheeses and wines. I particularly liked the pecorino from Tuscany, and the Irish blue cheese paired with syrupy sweet Piggs Peake Zinfandel, which you can get at Hunter Valley (if they are not sold out, that is!)
cured meat platter - $28, with bangalow pork salami, bresaola of organic angus beef, cold-smoked ocean trout slices, duck and rosemary terrine, cornichons and ciabatta bread.
the 'white flight' - $31
Everything was delicious, and a real welcome change to the usual dinner offerings around town. I don't normally buy cheese, so this was a chance to get some exposure to and education on some of the cheeses out there.
The conversation was also different to the norm...A had gone to see a psychic/tarot reader and come out of the reading feeling anything but reassured. I can't help but think that having a psychic focusing your attention on particular things/people would bring about a self-fulfilling prophesy. And where that area of focus is unexpected, and outside one's imagination, the uncertainty will actually weigh on one's mind and create more doubts/fears etc (and hence why A went to see another psychic haha). That said, I'm not skeptical of some people's abilities to sense future possibilities, so...time will tell :)
