Wings and Wine

I haven’t had wings as good as the ones I had last night since Long Wongs on Mill closed. Visited my Dad in South Phoenix and on our way home we stopped at Gallagher’s on 32nd St and Baseline. Not only do they have fried wings, but also baked wings. Mmmmm. I had baked BBQ and my girlfriend had baked Suicide. Mind you I’ve never been a huge fan of wings, but these were awesome. Some places just don’t know how to do wings, either they’re overfried or way too greasy. One place with horrible wings is WingStreet. The word “wing” is in their name and they can’t even make good wings. Go figure. I’ve never had baked wings before, but I’m hooked. The meat was juicy and tender and their BBQ sauce was excellent. My only complaint is that the red wine we had there was too warm, almost like they had it sitting on top of a refridgerator or something heating it up. I’ve noticed that, in general, restaurants are finally carrying more types of red wines than your typical run of the mill reds (Cab, Merlot, etc). This is a good thing, however, some seem to disregard the recommended serving temperature of these wines. Pinot Noir is one that comes to mind, it’s typically served in the 55 – 62 degree range, not room temperature. Even the common reds should be served at under 70 degrees. In any case, it was unexpectedly good.

    I think that Long Wong’s is opening back up again on Mill, but south of University instead, and on the west side of Mill. I saw a sign for it at least awhile back.
