This past weekend was one of those lay low varieties. The meal comprised of spicy chicken and a killer creamy (with no cheese) risotto with cubed portabella mushroom, sweet potato, and yellow squash. The sweet vegetables were pre-caramelized to give the risotto a killer sweet twang and the portabellas added a lovely firm texture to [...]

We had a few friends over and we had a few wines. Two were solid winners – while the other was passing. The meal was meatballs and rice, so we thought we would go with wines that had enough firepower (acidity, power). So Syrah was the wine of choice. These are them. 2003 Herzog Syrah Special [...]
