Motherland & Homeland



With two weeks left till vacation I wanted something summery and Greek for dinner tonight. So I made SHRIMP WITH FETA, PASTA AND BASIL; a recipe from John Sarich’s new cook book, Chef in the Vineyards.

Can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a shrimp dish that much, and yes I did eat the pasta as well. As for the wine of choice tonight it came from Paumanok Vineyards; marrying the flavors of my motherland with flavors from my homeland was unintentional but a total success. The Festival Chardonnay 2009 was an excellent choice that married beautifully with the freshness of the dish.
This recipe is a keeper!!

As for the wine, I m still enjoying the last glass. This stainless steel chardonnay screams freshness, clean and crisp on the palate with notes of apples and melon.

Another must try white to celebrate summer.
