Ok so I’m lazy…I have established that…so tonight I’m posting two different dinners (and wines) that I’ve had over the past week. Fair enough (he said)…
#1: Bel Glos 2018 Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley.
Omg. Voluptuous.
Silky minerally intense blue red fruit, incense spices, rich on the palate, long silky sweet finish, sweet oak balanced with acidity makes it a pleasure to go back for another another another sip. Luxurious.
Amazing match to the grilled Mongolian spiced pork chops. Damn.
Next up, tonight’s dinner: pasta with clams, in this case, fettuccine (too fat; shoulda stopped at linguine or spaghetti, but wtf it’s a weekday).
#2: Grifo del Quartaro, 2020 GAVI. I LOVE Gavi! It’s a minerally, yet fruit friendly, very dry, medium-light white wine, but this one is of high quality, with a lingering finish. Light golden color with a bit of effervescence makes it super refreshing and pleasant! High acidity, perfect with seafood …I’m thinking pasta with clams (duh), but also raw fish, ceviche, other white fish. Or just by itself. With me, of course.
What are we drinking tonight?
