Welcome!

(Taylor's Automatic Refresher, St. Helena, Napa Valley, CA - 9.7.09)

I like to eat. And I like to eat well. If you're like me and get upset when the same dish is ordered by multiple diners in your party, then we'll probably like each other. If a share plate to sample/graze companions' plates is as integral to a meal as cutlery, we're on the same page here.

The point of Share Plate - a gustatory archive. The problem (and beauty) of amazing meals is they're only tangible for a fleeting moment. Since there will be a point (and I'm probably already there) where memories of one "memorable" meal may fade into other "memorable" meals (therefore, by definition, calling into question the use of the word "memorable"), I've decided to park them here in images and words.
