Had a fun tasting here at Casa di Vino Tuesday evening. "A Celebration of Harvest" celebrated the seasonal crops and foods that we enjoy as autumn sets in. Your wine and food guy not only paired recipes up with each wine that we poured but also made a pumpkin stew in the crockpot for folks to sample with the vino we poured. All the recipes will be available on the CDV website in the next day or two. Shannon Ridge Sauvignon Blanc from California and Castle Rock Willamette Valley Pinot Noir were the tasting stars. The Castle Rock, with it's cinnamon notes went particularly well with the stew. Autumn is a wonderful time of year to enjoy food and wine. The bounty of the harvest and the pleasure of the fruits of the vine just serve to help us appreciate the glory of the world around us. Live well, eat well, enjoy life.
