It is Wednesday night and we are having a glass of this California Zinfandel to round out our evening meal. We have had this wine before but it has been a quite awhile. I retrieved this from our stock in the basement.
The wine is pleasantly spicy with pepper and rich with the taste of juicy, ripe berries. This is a lovely red wine and it is perfect for grilled meats of any kind.
For dinner tonight, I marinated a thick, boneless pork chop. My marinade was simple but delicious: Olive oil, rice wine vinegar, spicy brown mustard, salt & pepper. After it was marinated, we cooked it on the grill at a high heat so that it was cooked through and crispy on the outside. We split one chop and also had brown rice and a really yummy salad (we are having salad almost every night because I keep harvesting my fresh lettuce and onions and don’t want it to go to waste — and, it tastes fresh, sweet, crunchy & delicious)!
All in all, a satisfying cocktail hour and mid-week meal. Cheers!
This California Deepwater Point Zinfandel arrived today in a wine club shipment. Tom chose it for our Friday night to accompany a dinner of spaghetti with meat sauce and sauteed spinach. This is quite a spectacular full-bodied wine showing richness and depth with structured tannins. The taste has hints of strawberries and vanilla with pepper and cloves on the finish.
Cheers!
