Wine is something we've been meaning to get in to, but we always come home from the liquor store with the same box of House MalbecWine with dinners, not much else...Saturday night date night at home...
Last night was Villa a Sesta Riserva 2016 Chianti, paired with a Veal Parmesan w/ our home grown marinara sauce with mushrooms.
Not bad for 15 bucks, was great with dinner.
Depending on where you live, it's really easy to get into very specific wines. Woodinville, with a couple days to spare, you can try most wineries tasting rooms. Then you have all the the actual wineries through the Yakima Valley and over towards Walla Walla. We're down to very finite wineries. So hit very specific tasting rooms in Woodinville. Though we do hit a few rooms to retry every trip up. Just in case the next vintage is better.Wine is something we've been meaning to get in to, but we always come home from the liquor store with the same box of House Malbec
I think it's mainly the inconvenience of having to go to a state liquor store for wine here that pushes me towards quantity over quality.
That's definitely going to be a part of the plan once I finish my move to the Tri-Cities in April/May. Not much opportunity for it here in Utah though.Depending on where you live, it's really easy to get into very specific wines.

Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may be in Utah...That's definitely going to be a part of the plan once I finish my move to the Tri-Cities in April/May. Not much opportunity for it here in Utah though.
Hmmm, this reminds me, I'm going to Utah in May. Perhaps I should pack beer to have on hand in the various outback places I'm heading.Wish real beer could show up here on the Utah grocery store shelves...
Tri Cities you'll have a lot of places to explore.That's definitely going to be a part of the plan once I finish my move to the Tri-Cities in April/May. Not much opportunity for it here in Utah though.
Not going with sake for the chicken and fried rice? Our table polished off a bottle of the unfiltered Momokawa organic junmai ginjo at a sushi restaurant last night. I typically don't go for unfiltered, but this one was good and I might try it more often.Hmmm, this reminds me, I'm going to Utah in May.

To answer the thread title, it was zinfandel again last night. I ate the last of the beef ribs we fixed Friday. Mrs. Salmo didn't appreciate the ribs; too much fat and hard to trim. I just ate everything that wasn't bone. And I like the variation from beef streak, hamburger, and roast. It's hard for me to not like Zin with any beef meal.
Gonna' do chicken teriyaki and vegetable fried rice tonight, so we undoubtedly have chardonnay with that.
