Had a fine, low key evening with the wife.
We're planning a little jaunt to a beach resort next week.
For the day of I whipped up a tomato salad with fresh mozzerella, basil drizzled with port, balsamic vinegar & really good olive oil, a cheese board, some proscuitto & salami and a crusty baguette. All very enjoyable. Dessert was grapes & dark chocolate.
It was all washed down by this excellent vintage. This is my favorite zin under $15, deep and plummy, with notes of blackberry (according to the wife, who did time in wineries while attending Sonoma State back in the day).
My out of state readers are probably SOL on this one, unless you're lucky enough to have a Trader Joe's within driving distance.
I was amazed during our east coast swing a few years back to see cheap local wines given pride of place in New York and Boston, selling for 2 or 3 times what I'm used to paying.
