We're in Dublin Airport finishing off our visit to Ireland. James, Priscilla and the girls hugged us goodbye and we agreed to try to meet in Washington sometime next year. The girls will be grown more by then!
Last night we had our goodbye dinner to Dublin at Winding Stair. It's on the banks of the Liffey--found by Ben through a Frank Bruni column in the New York Times. It's an old warehouse type of place with a bar and a foodie reputation, that it clearly lives up to. The wine list was lovely, too.
We started with appetizers of salmon, Dingle Bay crab, and a sampling of other bits and pieces of fish from the waters around Ireland. First Ben ordered a Western Australia, Plantaget sauvignon blanc with the first course. Then Ben ordered a Cote de Beaune burgundy that was exquisite to go with the mains. They include a filet steak for James, beef cheeks with kale for John, Priscilla had mixed local seafood and Ben a John Dory. We walked out raving about the place and enjoyed the evening immensely.
Now to London.
