Went to the Gondolin, a fine dining restaurant built as an overhang over the loch between the Stockholm old city mainland and Soldermalm. Its 14 stories up, all glass, and thin, so most tables have a view over the water. As the Russian consulate was kind enough to save me many, many thousands of dollars yesterday, I splurged on the wine. Got a bottle of 1986 Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Winos will know that this is a banner Mouton year. Swedes will know it cost 5000 SEK. Americans can google how much that is, as I won't write it here for the faint of heart. Needless to say, it was really good.
Had a 4 course set course menu, caviar, lumpfish and grilled lobster, baked cod stuffed with lobster, an an apricot compote with vanilla. Had a glass of d'yquem (ya, by the
glass, winos!) sauternes with the dessert. Attached some shitty blackberry pics.
