Cornbread

[hotwine]

Have been thinking, thinking.... (dangerous!)

Since you'll be pairing ham with the cornbread, you might offer a Rosso di Montalcino. The CdR would be easier to find, but RdM can be a real winner with ham. It's a different wine, with a totally different flavor profile, but it's truly wonderful stuff.

D's fixing minestrone at the moment, and has invited our best friends to join us, so will probably break out the RdM for them (the soup contains pancetta, so there's the ham connection).
