Pardon Me While I Wine
I play piano at the local Vino 100 every so often. As part of my remuneration, the owner gives me a couple bottles of wine (my choice!) and a class for me and Erin. We went to the class tonight (pairing wine with food), and had an absolutely wonderful time with chef and chief sommelier Brian. Brain brought several different kinds of foods and opened about a half-dozen bottles of wine for us to compare and contrast between them. There were about 9 of us in attendance and we got to try some truly wonderful vintages. I used a birthday gift certificate to pick up 2 bottles of 2003 Pasa Robles Petite Syrah. It was almost as good as the $40/bottle stuff that Dimas (the owner) opened for us. We can’t wait to figure out what we’re going to make to enjoy this wonderful stuff.
