Antebellum Sushi

SushiFor those who enjoy sushi, this destination is a jewel.  In the venue of a 1929 mansion designed around pre-Civil War architecture, this sushi bar and restaurant is set back from the road in a hidden section of Novi.   Elegantly decorated this mansion is frequently the setting for weddings and receptions.  Once you enter you can’t help but have your eyes drawn to the beautiful staircase.  Seating is on one several converted offices and parlors.  The bar is area beautifully tucked away behind a velvet curtain.

Ordering Wine When Dining Out

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Impress your dinner guests the next time you are out.  Mastering the art on pairing wine can give a lasting impression to your guests.  It could also be a fascinating practice if you know the proper procedures on how to do it.

 

You can expect a good wine list to include the name of the wine with its description, the producer, the country of origin, and the vintage.  Before you order, it is prudent and necessary to determine your price range, your guest’s wine and meal preferences.  If both red and white wine is preferred, you can order either of the two or any these suggestions: a heavy white wine or an oak-made Chardonnay will lighten up the night. You could also order a light red wine or a smooth, light Merlot /Pinot Noir.
