Episode 42: My first Vendange pt.3Lunch at The Modern in NYC
If you happen to visit the Museum of Modern Art in New York city, don’t forget to drop by the restaurant right next door, The Modern. I had lunch there for the last 3 times I was in NY. The quality was exceptional. The food are simple but honest and flavorful. They even open on Sunday. Here are couple of courses I had for lunch.
Wild Mushroom soup. I don't mind to have this every morning.
I found a jewel in the wine list. From one of the most hidden places in Italy, Valle d'Aosta. They produce a white wine made from local variety called Blanc de Morgex, is one of the white wine I love. Here, however, I found a red made from a local grape called Torrette, It was amazing. Very refine texture of tannins, produced a bouquet of elegant licorice & wild berries. Its supple & velvety finish showed some brighter acidity balance off the sweet fruits. Highly recommend it !
Poached lobster & egg prepared in a Jar. It is a very popular dish in Alsace. Both were done perfectly. I loved it. It went perfectly with my bottle of Torrette.
