Hi!! So, as I said before I've been busy cooking, etc. The wine group I'm involved with met last weekend. There are about 8 couples, all interested in wine. We meet once a month and everyone brings something to share. There should be a list of wines and food served, but I'm afraid I'm usually focused on the event itself. We keep discussing the need to write down all the wines and their food pairings, but so far it's been pretty hit and miss.
We started with sparkling domestic wine, Chandon. Very nice. I believe it was labeled as brut, but it didn't seem unpleasantly dry to me. I'm not a big champagne drinker, so I usually stick to sweeter sparklers, but this was very nice, and about $18 a bottle.
Then we had a torrontes (the Don Manuel Villafine I blogged about before) with scallops wrapped with prosciutto and topped with romesco sauce. Then we had a central coast California Pinot Noir (sorry I don't know the label) with stuffed portabella mushrooms. After that things get a little fuzzy. There were three more bigger reds served with smaked turkey, a beef and noodle dish, and a roast beef dish that was truly tender and delicious.
Sorry the descriptions are so sketchy. I never take notes at these things, instead savoring the experience. Everyone had a really good time at this little get-together. If I get better notes/information on the wines, I'll add it to this blog.
