Lodi has a couple of really good places, actually.

 

[swag]

Indian food is good in a couple of areas around here:

#1: South Bay
#2: A couple harder-to-find places in SF (I prefer Pakwan, not Shalimar -- it's more No. Indian/Pakistani -- and Indian Oven on Fillmore near Haight)

Just north of Stockton.

We go to dance competitions in SJ...I love that town. If I couldn't live here (I'm a country boy, really), and I had to live in a California big city--it'd be San Jose.

House of Nanking, of course. They will tell you what you want to eat, because they honestly always know better than you.

This place in specific is old school and good. I liked it a lot more than I expected. I sat right behind then-mayor Willie Brown in there once. Talk about an entourage, and he will not eat at anything to shabby either.

Awesome list:


Brunello di Montalcino: Castello Banfi...great stuff and not ridiculously priced like, say, Gaja

Barolo...used to like it more. Has more trouble breathing than a one lunged emphysemic

Chianti

Ah, my new love. All awesome. Great stuff from $10-60 here (probably $3-$20 there...sigh

Fav's

Banfi--yup, them again
Badia Coltibuono
Fantodi
and that ever illusive

Fattoria del Teso....my grandfather worked the vines. I have looked in the US for it for over 20 years. Saw it an Italian restaurant in SF once, and didn't think to ask :down:

Anyone know where I can get it in the US?

Nice list you spoiled brat

Currently the part of my collection worth mentioning is:

Tignanello (4 bottles) 2: 1997's and 2 2000's.
Tenuta San Guido, Sassicaia, 1999.
Guado al Tasso Antinori: 2000.
Barbaresco (Angelo Gaya!)

My favorite wine remains the Montepulciano's (Abruzzo) which in my opinion beats any wine 'pound for pound' (price and quality)..
