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?

Yum!
You have good taste. I think Michael Mina is a genious in the kitchen.
Hi Ann and Giz – and I have more Michael Mina yet to share. Yum is right!
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?

What an intriguing sophisticated twists to one of my favorite snacks.
Hi Amy and Marla – YUP, popcorn and truffles, you gotta try it!
I keep staring at that popcorn. Clever bar management. It’ll keep you there, ordering more liquor than you were planning to imbibe. : )
