Tapena

[winophite]

Had fresh raw veggies; carrots, celery and brocc, (no ranch dip). Also had garlic bread, (texas toast). The toast was a spoiler! The rest was OK (with garlic breath). Usually I'm a midwesten sort of meat and potato kind of quaffer sort, but...
The complexity of the dinners flavors, mixed with the simple flavors of the wine, made for a neat dinner experience. Again... the garlic bread played sort of a spoiler for both. Does simple wine with complex dinner make sense?...if so, does a simple steak and potatoe dinner beg for a more complex wine?

(maybe too much early afternoon Miller time) Still much to learn! WP
