Viva Las Vegas
On my recent weekend getaway to Las Vegas, I was overwhelmed with the many delicious dining opportunities. I realized I would have to base my final decision on atmosphere, location, aromas (of course), menu options and pricing. After going to one of the Cirque Du Soleil shows, my friends and I decided to check out the luxurious Mandalay Bay Casino. We decided to try one of their many restaurants, “China Grill�, due to its dim lighting, romantic atmosphere and the endless menu choices. This is a gourmet Chinese cuisine restaurant with entrees ranging from $25-$35. Once we were seated, I was pleasantly surprised to see Sokol Blosser Pinot Noir and Evolution on the wine list. I quickly ordered a bottle of Evolution for everyone to share. What better wine to pair with spicy food? Our group of four chose several entrees to enjoy family style. My favorite dishes were the “drunken chicken� and the “flank steak�. These two dishes were perfect paired with Evolution!
