If you had a chance to read yesterday’s post, you would know that I am now enamored with Michael Mina. Here is another reason:
Truffle Butter Popcorn with Chives as a bar snack!
…which we thoroughly enjoyed with a glass of Michael Mina Iron Horse Blanc de Blanc 2000. Iron Horse produces a limited number of special cuvées for select chefs and restaurateurs including Michael Mina. (And, oh, by the way note the cool leather bar top).
From their website: Blanc de Blanc is the most elegant and sophisticated of the Iron Horse cuvées, made from 100% Chardonnay.
It is ethereal – like drinking a cloud. It seems to effervesce away in your mouth and tastes like, among other flavors, a perfectly browned, lightly buttered slice of sourdough toast.
Ah yes, pair with popcorn anyone?

I keep staring at that popcorn. Clever bar management. It’ll keep you there, ordering more liquor than you were planning to imbibe. : )
Hi Amy and Marla – YUP, popcorn and truffles, you gotta try it!
What an intriguing sophisticated twists to one of my favorite snacks.
Oooh! I have truffle oil waiting in my pantry…. Goes without saying that I have popcorn too! Movie night just got sophisticated. I’ll have to watch Il Postino or Cinema Paradiso in lieu of Madagascar or Cars, right?

You have good taste. I think Michael Mina is a genious in the kitchen.
Yum!
