    Three star michelin place. bottomless dom with the appetizer.

    Which, is not actually really any better than bottom shelf andre brut or cooks and such. Any good wine should be less than $20 a bottle, with exceptions that were brought out for each other course. The name, price, and dick waggling that comes with it is the point. So if you never get the illustrious Dom Perignon, don’t fucking worry, just make sure your shit’s chilled all the way through before you get to the function.

    Never knew raw oysters could actually be good. The presentation and explanation of each dish and subsequent wine pairing was great. Fabulous time, worth it. I think it was something like $700, all told? Bucket list of my partner’s, so double points.

    SOMETHING ELSE that’s super fucking worth it: Taking a cross-country trip on the Amtrak in a sleeper car. It’s first class, super bicycle friendly, and included in the ticket price is three full meals a day, with a boozy drink at dinner. Last I checked, it’s over a grand from boston to the west coast, but it’s like living in steamer trunk for a few days and is just super fucking rad
