Where I've Been Eating On My Quarantine Vacation - March Edition


March 15
Tonight's dinner at Club Covid at the Ravenswood Quarantine Cafe. May we suggest a nice white wine with your meal?




March 16
Tonight's dining at Chez Covad includes mushroom risotto and a lovely spring salad with Meyer lemon basil dressing. La Vielle Ferme white table wine adds a lovely compliment to a meatless Monday meal.


March 17
Tonight at Ye Olde Steak And Corona we are proud to serve a tender Steak Au Poive with mashed cauliflower and baby spinach. To accompany we suggest a Cline Ancient Vine Mourvedre - crisp with a lingering bite reminiscent of that first kiss with whatstheirname. Enjoy!


March 18
Hola! Buenas Noches and welcome to La Cantina de Covid. Tonight we offer you grilled chicken street tacos with rice, cabbage, salsa, and our very secret sauce. To accompany we have a Russian River Brewing Blind Pig IPA. We wish you buen appetite!






March 19
Buon Gorno! Here at Ristorante Quarantino we got all your Italian favorites so long as your favorites are sauteed sausage and pasta with red gravy. And hey how about a nice glass of #Cline Grenache cause before they were Cline they were Jacuzzi, capisce?


March 20
At Casa de Shelter we only serve the finest chicken fajitas from naturally organic chickens. I think her name was Rosita. She was a lovely chicken and the children played with her often. The salsa is muy caliente just like we like it. Aye carumba! Ole!


March 21
Hello welcome please come in to the Thaisolation Cafe where we have chicken lettuce wraps for dinner. The sou chef cut the lettuce a little small so we serve it more as a salad but you get the idea. Only problem is I think the cilantro was washed with water AND soap. You know like your hands. For 20 seconds. While singing the chorus to ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK.







March 22
Sonoma's hottest restaurant is Solitude! It has everything. Wine, cheese, wine and cheese, and food. Tonight's protein is Phillipa a lonely bird who spent her time shut off from the rest of the fowl world thus making her perfect for Solitude! Phillipa is dressed in a balsamic vinegar and fig reduction and is making the scene with an arugula, farro, and goat cheese salad with garlic toast points. Accompanying them is a 2014 Lost By Choice red blend. Solitude! requires reservations 2, perhaps 3 weeks in advance for its single table. No sharing. Wash your hands.


March 23
Good evening and welcome to Cafe Banh Mi So Bored, a number one best Vietnamese cafe in Sonoma. Tonight we have pork Banh Mi on the special for you. Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA goes good with that-- cuts right through spicy hot pepper. You love it long time.


March 24
Buon giorno! Here at Pizzeria Isolata we bring you old school Italian charm mixed with the freshest ingredients in the finest old world tradition. Tonight we got vegetarian pizza with a side of Romaine lettuce with cheese crisps. And for all you meat lovers just a little plate of mamma's home cured salami. Of course it's not dinner without the wine -- some Italian Swiss Colony cause we kick it old school. Come, sit, and mangia mangia!

I welcome you. My name is Michel and I am the maitre 'd here at Purell's Steak House. Thank you for coming in tonight. May I start you with a martini? Olives, of course. The chef has prepared for you a special London Broil with balsamic vinegar mushrooms and of course a baked potato. Sweet potato for madame and an Idaho for the gentleman. May I recommend a Schug 2015 Carneros Pinot Noir to accompany? Very good. I'll leave the penguin here with the overflow martinis. I wish you bon appetit.


March 27
Mamma Tedium welcomes you to her trattoria! Tonight we got a special. It's SSDD, same special different day. HA! That's why it's so special!

And of course Mamma's world-famous garlic bread cause you gotta keep up your immune system these days. Now eat in good health!



March 28
Hola mis amigos! Bienvenidios to the Hideaway Hacienda. Tonight we will be proud to have you join us for chicken enchiladas, ranch style beans, crispy fresh tortilla chips, and avocado fresh from the tree. The skies may be overcast but in here we strive to bring you a small taste of tropical tradewinds accenting warm Mexican nights.


March 29

Good evening and welcome to our Spring "Dinner With the Winemaker" here at Chateau Covid. Tonight our winemaker Paul has teamed with Chef Ann Marie to present to you a lovely pairing of food and wine from our very special Block 19 vineyard. Pork cutlets in herbed white wine sauce are accompanied by fresh pan seared asparagus and are served on a mound of Arborio rice. Unfortunately out of an abundance of caution we will not be barrel tasting tonight, nor will we be dining in the wine cave per the insistence of the Sonoma Wine Alliance. Remember as wine club members you can take advantage of a 20% discount on all bottle purchases this evening and 30% on all other items in our gift shop. We are happy to extend to you a special $1 shipping offer on all purchases.


March 30

Hi honey how was work/school today? Welcome to Mom's Shelter at Home. We have a nutritious dinner for you. Mom's very special Citrus Chicken from the June 1975 issue of Womans Day along with broccoli and some Tater Tots. Finish it all up and there'll be chocolate ice cream for dessert. After dinner be a dear and take out the garbage.



March 31

Good evening brothers and sisters. We welcome you to the Second Chance Mission. Here we want every food stuff to have an opportunity to fulfill its purpose and find true happiness in the stomachs of our guests. There is some Citrus Chicken from Moms and some spaghetti from an Italian restaurant and even some greens from Solitude! (We were so fortunate to get those). Come and enjoy. Love and Light! And wash your hands.
