Friday Food

Food: Fridge & Pantry Extravaganza

1. Broccoli w/Garlic & Butter


2. Cantimpalitos with Sweet Peppers, Tomato, White Beans (Pocha), Artichoke Hearts (canned), Long Beans (chopped), hard boiled egg. "White bean Paella" cooked with saffron infused chicken broth.
   

Wine:

1. Runquist 2003 Primitivo
   Amador County. A slightly lighter-style zin than the big fruit bombs, but still lots of
   bright fruit (raspberry, black currant). Fairly acidic, but not overly so--drank as apertif,
   but would pair well with food.


2. Peachy Canyon 2002 Westside Zinfandel
   Characteristic westside Paso zin--darker fruit, not as acidic, higher alcohol. Good, but pales in comparison to the best Westside zins--Zin Alley, Turley, etc.
