Always look for the rainbow!
Beautiful birthday dinner at @riveroysterbar in downtown Miami. Raw bar, fresh local fish, and coconut cake (made in-house) plus a lovely Bandol rosé - what more could a girl want? Thanks to the Uber-professional staff for such a lovely experience.
While it’s still hot as Hades in south Florida, we do have evenings that make us want to curl up on the couch under a blanket and sip something heartwarming.
So, these were our choices for #grenacheday: the 2019 Venturi Vineyard selection from @meekerwine Grapes grown by 3rd generation farmer Larry Venturi show the spicy, seductive red fruit character of Grenache.
Did someone mention it’s #grenacheday? It’s also the kick-off to my birthday week. Lucky me, I’ve got three lovely choices from @meekerwine : 2017 Hoskins Ranch from Dry Creek; 2019 Venturi Vineyard from Mendocino; and 2020 Hollyhock Vineyard from Paso Robles. Which one should I pick?
The perfect comfort food to start the week: roast chicken, kale salad, and an oh-so-lovely Pinot Bianco from @elena.walch in @altoadigewines northern Italy. A match made in Heaven, with the salty, herby chicken and the citrus/apple/pear flavors of the wine. Highly recommend!
