Tiny Bubbles and sushi, but no tiny champagne shirts...

We went to lunch with my sister and nephew at Tex Wasabi’s today. It’s one of the two restaurants co-owned by Guy Fieri, from the Food Network. He also co-owns a place called Johnny Garlic’s. Both are here in Santa Rosa. There’s nothing quite as good as getting barbeque and sushi on the same plate. Usually the barbeque at Tex Wasabi’s is pretty good, but today it seemed a bit dry, almost like it was leftover from yesterday. I had the barbeque and sushi combo, which comes with BBQ chicken, ribs, and a sushi roll. They give you the choice of a California Roll or some house roll with French fries and BBQ Pork, one of their “gringo rolls”. I think it’s kind of cool that they have non- fish and seaweed sushi-style items. Some of the creations are really good. My husband had a Lagunitas Draft beer while we were there. Tomorrow we plan to take the brewery tour at Lagunitas, so more on them later.

After lunch, we went out to Korbel. We had Korbel Sec Champagne. That was a nice, light, crisp variety. Apparently, it’s not sold in stores; it’s just available at the Cellars. We also picked up a bottle of each of the three varieties of Brandy they make, as that is not available in our area. We are saving the brandy, so I don’t know what it tastes like. Come to think of it, I should have picked up some shooters of the brandies too, so we could taste them. Oh well.

Neither Tex Wasabi’s nor Korbel has onesies. Now that we have the Russian River and Bear Republic ones, I am determined to get as many onesies as I can from different places for her. She also has a Margaritaville one my mom picked up for her in New Orleans. I think I’ll try to get her a collection going.
