Beef and Booze Delight on a Hot Summer Night

Steak and sangria. Sort of like Sinatra and the standards, and with just as much flavor. I enjoyed a combination of the former at Fleming's recently, which had me humming a few soulful bars myself.
My friend Dee and I started with an island-inspired South Seas Sangria, made with Viñedos Terranoble Sauvignon Blanc, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, and Peach Schnapps with fresh peaches, honeydew melon, oranges, and lemons.
A refreshing, light summer salad of butter lettuce and pear was tossed with with goat cheese, candied walnuts, crispy onions, and a lemon vinaigrette. 
  Then came the moment we had been waiting for...the most tender Prime New York Strip, courtesy of Chef Dave, arrived at the table with a sweet and spicy rub, topped with a savory tomato and roasted red pepper butter with chopped marcona almonds, and served with a side of summer zucchini slaw. Our inner cavewomen were delighted. 
Our knowledgeable sommelier Greg suggested a wine to enjoy with our steaks, and we weren't disappointed. As an avowed lover of French Rhone reds, I was like a kid in a candy store when a bottle of 2005 Summerland Trio arrived at the table. This Santa Barbara County combo of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre was smooth and smoky, with dark cherry and a little mocha tease on the finish.

We almost didn't have room for a most decadent peach cobbler, topped with a brown sugar oat streusel and vanilla ice cream...but our tummies somehow accomodated this sweet end to a most perfect evening...

  4. Ӏ'm really enjoying the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues? A number of my blog visitors have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any suggestions to help fix this issue?

  7. Heу would you mind stating which blog platform
    уou're working with? I'm going to start mу own blog in the near futurе but
    I'm having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for ѕomething unique.

    P.S Sorry for gettіng off-toρic but I had to ask!
