| Was lucky to score a holiday dinner at Corton last night. Overall I thought it was very good. Love the room. Wine list is insane of course (with a huge reserve list where the bottles need to be ordered 24 hours in advance so they can be brought from an off site cellar,) but also includes some decent sub $40 bottles. For instance we started with a Aubuisières Vouvray Sec ‘Cuvée de Silex,’ Loire 2007 which was great and very reasonable. I hate when there's nothing on a list under $60, it's just obnoxious, especially these days - so they got points there. The food highlight for me was some barely cooked nantucket bay scallops with ama ebi (baby sweet shrimp,) marcona almonds, radish, and some spicy microgreen surrounding a small pool of uni creme. Yum!
