Jason Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 [quote name='Rumble In the Jungle' timestamp='1307066675' post='995774'] funny I was just about to chime in then seen that last comment haha...riiiiiiight yea Jay, you wouldn't have that problem at the Pot lol But do what Go said and you'll be fine. You like Pinot Grigio ehhhh...Not bad beginner wine lol I'm a Merlot person or red wine in general. Working my way to red zinfandel. [/quote] Merlot is so cliche. And doesn't really go with lobster. I too am more of a red wine person. I love a good zin, cab, or shiraz, but none of them work well with lobster. Great with steak though. If I'm just drinking a glass of wine I'm much more likely to drink a red. But if I am having wine with food, what I choose will depend on what I am eating.

CincyInDC Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I've been told nowadays you can drink whatever kind of wine you want with your food. This probably varies (re: legality) from state to state but lately I've been ordering wine through amazon. I get much better results than just buying at the supermarket.

But I don't think red wine goes well with lobster. There is a reason for the "traditional" pairings. Now, a pinot noir with salmon is great, and honestly the only time I drink it.

But sadly I discovered I am allergic to most of the ingredients, and can't enjoy it anymore. But you are correct about the glory of the brew.

steggyD Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I try not to be an elitist about it. I just enjoy a very good beer. Some beers I drink are so thick you can slice it with a knife. I don't drink them regularly, it's expensive and the beer is heavy. My favorite Belgian Ale so far ... Gulden Draak. Favorite micro ... probably Indian Brown Ale by Dogfish Head, but there are more micro brews on my radar I've yet to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Skins Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 http://www.newsmax.com/TheWire/breadstick-policy-unlimited-olive-garden/2014/09/16/id/594859/ Olive Garden's unlimited breadstick policy is simply "Italian generosity" and not an exercise in food waste, the chain's parent company said Monday in defending itself against an investor's complaint. Starboard Value LP hurled a nearly 300-page report at Darden last week, detailing Olive Garden's faults, like the unlimited breadstick policy, low bar sales and overall profits, and poorly rated pasta dishes, Fortune magazine reported. The fight, though, goes a little deeper than breadsticks. Starboard owns an 8.8-percent stake in Darden and acts as the company's second-largest investor, Fortune noted. The firm is looking to oust the company's current 12-member board of directors in favor of other Starboard-appointed candidates to improve the chain's economic situation.

T-Dub Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Got to say I've consistently found Olive Garden less enjoyable than any fresh pasta from the grocery and even a slightly fancied-up jarred sauce (ie adding sauteed garlic & or some italian sausage, splash of wine, maybe half a tomato, fresh oregano from the garden etc).   As for beers, this is from Athens & my go-to for a while now. Not an overly-dry IPA.. I'd call it well-balanced but I love hops.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MULLY Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 order water initially, wait 5-10 minutes after you order your food, then ask seperately for your wine.. it almost has to come close together at that point.. or as others mentioned, dont go to ruby tuesdays for lobster and wine... their cheese fires are the bomb though... There it is right there. Any place where you can use the sentence "their cheese fries are the bomb" you probably shouldn't expect too much.
