Go Fish

This new Japanese / Sushi restaurant, which opened in the spot that was previously occupied by Pinot Blanc, was one of my favorite stops during my two week sojourn in northern California. I was blown away by the quality of their raw fish (much of it flown in from Japan) and by the talent of the chefs producing the sushi rolls, which were innovative and tasty. They also have an impressive selection of cooked dishes as well as Sonoma chicken and grilled filet of beef.

The restaurant also has a large selection of high quality sake, but I stuck to more conventional beverages. 

Go Fish is garnering rave reviews and was packed on every one of my visits. Sean Knight, who was previously the top chef at Pinot Blanc, is managing this restaurant, and helps out in the kitchen when things get too busy. One dish I did not have an opportunity to try but saw on several other tables was their West Coast-styled bouillabaisse, which looked outrageously good.

All of the courses we had were flavorful, sometimes a trifle rustic, but delicious in their intensity. This was good comfort food prepared extremely well. The wines started with one of the major surprises for me over the last year, the 2006 sparking wine from Tony Soter in Oregon. I had this several times while I was out visiting Oregon, and I had always been impressed, but this is a 10-year-old sparking Rosé that is just sensational, and I’m talking world class—it’s that good. Something this good from France would cost at least two to three times as much, so kudos to Tony Soter. The 1995 Billaud-Simon Chablis Mont de Milieu was oxidized and undrinkable. The 1996 Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Clos St. Urbain Rangen de Thann was sweet, and although it went well with the foie gras, it was just a little too unctuous and sweet a wine...
