Feasting like royalty tonight with some great views of the city, fabulous wine and excellent food (bison prime rib).
I know Dennis (ulackfocus) loves fine wine so I thought it might be fun to start a food and wine thread.

Is that Simms in Golden CO?
It is. Seems to have gone down hill again. Was great when they revamped to "Simms Steakhouse" for a few years but the last couple of visits have not met expectations - either up selling every order by the waitstaff or menu changes that aren't as good as the things they replaced.
Don't really care for ghost peppers - the heat is not the issue but any time I've had something with them in it, there is an odd aftertaste - almost a bit "musty" if that makes sense...you will have to let me know if that comes from the peppers you have.

But Habs are my favourite. Use them often and used to grow them in pots on the back deck - they are easy to grow. Tasty (just love the flavor of Habs), just the right amount of heat, and they make good props for watch photos too...
One year we had so many we dried them in one of those food dehydrators...they keep well when dried but my eyes would sting every time I walked into the kitchen during that process though!

Just got my hands on these bad boys. Red habaneros on top and ghost peppers on the bottom.
