What to Sip on When You Visit These Amazing Restaurants
Keens Steakhouse (New York) - Robert Sinskey Pinot Noir (2012).
Keens Steakhouse in New York has been open since 1883, but still manages to deliver something
new to look at and taste every time you go inside. As with any true steakhouse, Keens has an
extensive wine list, from which the Sinskey Pinot Noir from 2012 goes nicely with any cut of meat
you’re ordering.
The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm (Virginia) - Peanut Infused Whisky.
The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm is tucked away in the Virginia countryside. From its patio you
can sit down to views of rolling hills and the Potomac River, while enjoying a seasonal menu that
changes daily, relying on food grown at the on-site farm. Enjoy the inventiveness and unique
taste of the Virginia-peanut infused whisky.
Mister Jiu’s (California) - Cocktails
Mister Jiu’s brings the distant flavours and lavish decorations of the East out to the West. The
mouth-watering menu is an inspired western take on traditional Cantonese cooking, from meat
to seafood. It’s tough to limit yourself to one drink, because the cocktail menu is replete with
surprising ingredients like crab oil and jasmine tea; as long as you stick with one of the cocktails,
you’ll be alright.
Night + Market (California) - “Sculpted and toned” Chenin Blanc with ‘lemon chiffon and apricots”
Night + Market is a vibrant, boisterous, multi-coloured Northern Thai restaurant. While the menu
features classics from the region, the wine list is much more adventurous, featuring esoteric
natural wines that are marvellously described and wondrously evocative: “Sculpted and toned”
Chenin Blanc with ‘lemon chiffon and apricots”.
Finnriver Farm and Cidery - Sparkling Apple Cider
Finnriver Farm and Cidery is located on a farm outside Port Townsend, and it is decorated in such
a way that really brings out the warm comforts of farmlands: wooden structures, indoor yet
outdoor, wood-fired ovens and even a bluegrass band. To really get the most of the experience,
the drink to try is one of the ciders, ranging from sparkling apple to black current.
