Max's Wine Dive

Since the Greece trip, its been slow goings in the Huebner food world.  Some homemade pizzas will be appearing soon on the blog.  In the meantime, Adrienne and I decided to head out and treat ourselves.  I suggested a long overdue return to Max's Wine Dive downtown (mostly b/c I drive by it everyday on the way home and I was dying to get back). 

We'd been once for a birthday celebration and ended up buying (and drinking) a case of wine with a group of friends last time and figured we'd give it a romantic go just the two of us this time.  No cases were ordered, but the wine and the food were outstanding.  One of the local news crews was there doing closeups with plated dishes under some nice lighting with their cameras.  Sadly, iPhone was my only option.  Here's to the idea that iPhone 4 is necessary for pixel improvement for unplanned blog photos! Ok, maybe not.  Onto the amateur food porn:

Adrienne had Max's wrap:  Grilled spinach wrap stuffed with roasted seasonal vegetables and provolone cheese with a house salad with a '06 Domaine Carneros Brut (Napa).

As for me, I couldn't pass up the special of the day: Wagyu beef with grilled mushrooms, black truffles and spring salad with a Martin Fierro Cabernet.  The meat, my God, the meat.

This is one of my favorite places to go as the food is always amazing and the wine selection is hard to beat.  Houstonians and San Antonians, don't be jealous....they've got locations there too.
