Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 3, 2011 - i dove somewhat over-eagerly into the hearty, comfy, sturdy flavors of traditional wintertime cooking this year. anything that could be stewed, braised, roasted, pied — i pounced on it. now though, as winter's worn on, i've been thinking it makes sense to give myself a little food vacation (lacking the ability to take a bodily one). for instance, tonight i tried to replicate my favorite pizza from berkeley's cheeseboard: corn, jalapeño, red onion, and a bit of garlic — garnished generously with cilantro and lime juice (that's the crucial part, of course). take that, winter, you hearty, comfy, sturdy jerk!

so, anyway, wine's an important part of this seasonal sham. and i don't think i could've picked a better bottle to pull it off with. this wine's like sniffing right up on the genitals of late june, all deep musky perfume and tantalizing white fruits. holy shit, man. not a wine i'd want to drink often, but it's really the thing tonight.
