Asian Inspired Cuisine and a great Pinot Noir

My wife, Judy is a great cook.
Last night we were in the mood for something Asian.
So Judy bought a thick chunk of Yellowfin tuna, some bok choy and Napa cabbage and fresh corn on the cob.
Whoah! Fresh corn on the cob? What's Asian about that?
Well, Judy says, I'm driving home and see a sign that says "just picked today - sweet corn"! So I bought some.
So, the theme dinner was shattered, but everything was so good. And the corn? The best I've had in over 20 years - no kidding.
Oh, I almost forgot about the wine.
We had the 2011 Shane "The Charm" Pinot Noir. This is amazing wine, but I have to admit, it needs a lot more time. I'm sure when we try it tonight it will be much better.
The Charm is available at Balaban's for $43.00.
