If you like them, I don't think you'll find any to compare to these in Austin, perhaps not in the entire state of Texas. The richness of the sweetbreads and the peppery olive oil cried out for a strong red wine. Greysac is more popular in the U.S. than in Europe, partly because the winemaker aims it at American tastebuds with more fruit, pepper, and vanilla oak than Europeans generally like. Regardless, it was perfect with the sweetbreads. The wine carried an aroma somewhat like a forest after a rain that complemented the smoky character of the sweetbreads and the earthiness of the mushrooms.
Confits are very rich and take quite a while to make properly.
Jean-Luc's interpretation was beautifully prepared and packed with flavor. If you get the impression I like this restaurant, you're right. The wine and food matchings are expert and imaginative, the service discreet and proficient. The ambience is quiet and cozy. Overall, it is an intense, soulful, and professional restaurant experience that coaxes diners into a happy state of satisfaction.
