Red Wine (and Oscar) Sunday
A little Sunday Oscar.....
(and not quite enough in between, but alas, I best keep up my commitment)
I'm always coming up with ideas for Sunday gatherings. Jam making, music swapping and french lessons..... but finally I pulled one off...
I sent an email around and posed the question - "What food goes with red wine?" and invited people to come over with their idea of the perfect dish.
I provided the vino.
We made our way through Merlot, Cab Sav, Shiraz and Pinot Noir....
As well as canelloni, mushroom pasta, vege kebabs, dark chocolate, halva and quiche...
I am sure I tested the most of all and thus spun the most shite about berries, oak and spice.
I accompanied the evening with a collection of 'latino' completely cover-judged (bought today in 5 minutes at JB hifi) with no knowledge what so ever. Suprising success in that department.
So, there we were - I felt like we were finally the adults table.
And the kids...well, they ran around our feet in hyper activity and eventually collapsed at the kids table...
