Nam Kao and Kao Poon at Van Vieng Kham in Santa Rosa (Laotian)
My wife Joan and I were with Joel at Van Vieng Kham on June 13th and, unfortunately, I am the one that bit down on the hot pepper. Joan and I brought the Givry, which was surprisingly fruity and fresh for an '89, with a lovely Pinot nose.
Not much to add to Joel's remarks, except that I had a bone to pick with the Pad Ped Basil. Thought the duck pieces were too fatty, with less meat than usual. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal, however, and would go back.
