Dinner W/ Dad is Great..

Because:

1. We don't get daddy- daughter time as much as we used too. It's nice to have to myself once in a while!
2. He picks the best places. We went to our local hotspot Red, White and Brew in the east valley. They have an impeccable menu as well as a wine and beer list to die for. 
3. My dad is a jokester, I couldn't stop laughing the whole time we were together. Even when I was trying to engulf my food ; )
4. He is willing to listen to all of my nonsense no matter what it entails. Men that is huge brownie points!
5. He always lets me try his food.
6. AND go back for seconds!
7. It reminds me when I was little and going out to dinner with dad was one of the most exciting things ever. It meant I was going on an adventure, something completely new and strange to me. Some thing that would make me fall in love. 

First we indulged in the delicious fresh baked garlic bread; there was no saying no to that my friends. Dad ordered a Hefeweizen, while I had a glass of Napa Valley's Leaping Lizard Merlot. The full body of the wine paired with slightest plum notes hit made my taste buds sing. For the main course, I had the Gyro Chicken Salad accompanied with an asiago flatbread ((don't mind the picture, it's terrible!)) Dad enjoyed his Pecan Crusted Brie with a raspberry drizzle, which I have to say was phenomenal ((don't mind his picture either. He and I need to get used to this blogging ordeal when we eat. We both began to dig in before I got pictures! Luckily he only got away with an apple slice and some raspberry sauce)).
