January 1, 2012: Once again this year we celebrated the coming of the new year with our college friends the Bryants and the Jacksons. I am not sure how many years this tradition has taken place and in fact I am a little scared to try to figure it out. Nevertheless, we love to celebrate with them and this year was no different; great food and great company.
This year we decided to dine out at Ocean Prime in downtown Dallas. We were seated in the Wine Room, fittingly enough, had a pretty good dinner with average service, but for a New Years eve dinner out, we were pretty pleased with the experience as a whole. It was a steak and potato night, and if you know anything about Dallas Steakhouses you know that most make a pretty mean steak. Oh, don't forget to order the truffled deviled eggs, you wont be dissapointed.
The notable event of the night was the special the sommelier offered a special rate on a magnum bottle of Verasion Stagecoach at just over $200. A great wine at a great price and it was certainly fun to celebrate the new year with the magnum bottle. When you are out, especially with big groups, dont forget the large format options. Often you will have to ask for a special list or ask the somellier, but if you are going to order two or more bottles, than often this can be the way to go.
Happy New Year!!
