Saturday was a fruitful day in more ways than one. With a trip into the city and a number of Christmas purchases, we head home feeling good about the day.
We settle in and set up for dinner. Fresh Pasta and Sauce from “Gourmet Warehouse“ pasta panzenella; olive and tomato sauce based was incredible. Some fresh bread to dip in the extra virgin olive oil and black cherry balsamic vinegar from “Olives on Tap“ was a great accompaniment for the wine. 2009 Selene merlot

Wow, the fruit from the wine was balanced and the tannis firm enough to go with the variety of palate variables of the pasta and dipping oil. We really enjoyed this meal, with the rain pounding on the window and the fire place keeping us warm. You can not explain the feeling of a great meal in the comfort of your own home! My wife said’ “we need to do this again next week!“, and I agreed that was a really enjoyable meal that a good wine and great conversation made memorable! Salute!
