Harvest Vine

Last night Pat and I went out to Harvest Vine in Madison Valley and had a Basque dinner of small dishes. We hadn't seen each other in while and I was in a celebratory mood because of a successful and protracted battle with my computer...it was delicious, especially because I hadn't gone to a proper restaurant in months. We had artichokes with saffron aioli, grilled tuna belly with vanilla, chorizo with pepper dipping sauces, beef carpaccio and finally some espresso-whiskey flan. Definitely a place to return. It also reminds me that I should cook some artichokes in the near future.
