Lovely Vermentino

[ShortWiner]

Had a bottle of this stuff last night with what we call a "melt"--onions, garlic, red peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes, cooked long and slow with lemon juice until everything blends together, served over pasta with some pesto mixed in. Not strong on texture but delicious and refreshing. And because we were celebrating my wife's acceptance into grad school, a little appetizer of simply sauteed shrimp. This wine and food was also a good way to celebrate the welcome reprieve of a truly spring-like day. All of it significantly overshadowed by the spectacle of our President's posturing adding another nail in the coffin of international cooperation and goodwill, and the prospect of death for many people just around the corner. I fear for all of us. Apologies to those who love him.

It was a good wine, IK. Maybe I should move to Sardegna. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]
