One thing led to another!

It all started with the left over zucchini Carpaccio with mint and lemon vinaigrette. I decide to pair that with an arugula salad (I make my own dressing) and chicken piccata. I use wine in my piccata sauce which it let me to open a long over due chardonnay sample that I had sitting at home.

The Jean de Rose Chardonnay 2008, imported by Gabriella Imports and soon to be available at Gotham, was a superb pairing. The notes of butter and the rich balanced palate made this wine a perfect pairing with my meal!

What a wonderful dinner!!!

Tired of white and rose? This lighter body red is the perfect wine for the dog days of summer. The perfect wine to end a hot steamy day in New York City.

Lamb chops, perfectly cooked if I may say, and a glass of Grignolino (well more than a glass) along with made tonight’s dinner perfect.

Floral aromas and red berries will tinkle your nose, the beautifully balance body of this light dry red will make you unwilling to share the rest of the bottle.

Cheers
