Sooze Wine Bar + Kabuki Sushi - downtown Petaluma

We just got back from downtown.... before settling on a dinner location, we had a quick glass of wine at "Sooze" -- the wine bar in the socalled Great Petaluma Mall. Personally I was underwhelmed by the Mall and we were both underwhelmed by Sooze.

Don't get me wrong, I love the concept and I like their wine list. But seriously, $9 for a glass of unremarkable local Pinot Noir (and this was the low end) doesn't really cut it. For that kinda dough, you can go to Bacar or any other place in the city and imbibe. I can get a $25 glass of Kistler chard pretty much anywhere.

Factor in a rather pricey continental-influenced menu, and that's a tall order here in shit-kicker-ville.

Dinner at Kabuki, however, was great. Good, fresh cuts of nigiri sushi served by actual Japanese people! We ordererd several pieces of nigiri, one roll and a tonkatsu dinner. The tonkatsu (aka tempura fried pork chop/cutlet) was a big portion and the dinner sides (salad, miso soup) also showed evidence of effort by the staff. Our waitress was a bit indifferent, but the busser and the sushi chef (who asked us to do the tipout separately) were great.

Also, the guy hosting reminded me a bit of the American Taliban guy, John Walker Lindh. But I'm sure that is only a coincidence. I think the real dude is in gitmo or something.

Next up -- I may discuss my frequent trips to Whole Foods -- the melting pot of Petaluma...

You might like the new site Dishola. You remember Paula Disbrowe, the food writer and Texas rancher you met in France. She's the editor of a cool new little site where you can review your favorite food dishes, rather than the whole resto.

Glad to see you're blogging, I think it's a fun medium. Live from the city, Shannon

Bonjour I'd love to congratulate you for such a terrific made forum!
Just thought this is a nice way to introduce myself!
To collect wealth it is usually a good conception to begin a savings or investing procedure as soon in life as obtainable. But don't despair if you have not began saving your money until later on in life. As a consequence of honest work, that is consulting the best investment vehicles for your capital you can slowly but surely increase your finances so that it numbers to a large amount by the period you hope to retire. Inspect all of the achievable asset classes from stocks to real estate as investments for your money. A wisely diversified portfolio of investments in different asset classes can make your money age through the years.

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!

Mike
