Well, figuring this out has been part of my job for the last decade, and it’s a question that has grown ever more tricky as the Twin Cities food and wine scene improves and diversifies.<br>
<br>
Basically, the problem is: What are your criteria?<br>
<br>
Here are my thoughts on the best wine lists in town:<br>
<br>
For Napa Valley reds: Manny’s Steakhouse.<br>
<br>
For French wines: Vincent in Minneapolis, and Meritage in St. Paul.<br>
<br>
For Spanish wines: Solera]]></summary><category term="Food and Wine" /></entry>

Yuck.<br>

It had about two-and-a-half years of accumulated notes, ideas, phone numbers, and other such valuable but disorganized stuff on it, and I’ve been trying to move everything into a more organized way of being. Why? Because I seem to have joined the cult of people who follow David Allen and his book/personal productivity lifestyle, called Getting Stuff Done. Don’t ask—just read about it on Wikipedia if you want.<br>
<br>
I’ve kind of gotten to a point in my life where—with all these projects, with all these children—something needed to change.

Despite the ho-hum name, I have to say that if you have eaten passionately and locally this last decade, it’s a great document. (I say document because it’s a mix of cookbook, who’s-who of local farm-to-table eminences, and an eating-out guide.) It’s divided into six sections—North Shore, Twin Cities area, etc.—each of which includes profiles of prominent players a handful of their recipes. What I like about it is that it seems like a personal yearbook, documenting much of what I’ve been eating this last decade. If you live around here and are similarly interested in food, it’ll be your yearbook too.]]></summary><category term="Food and Wine" /></entry>
