We had another pot luck dinner this past weekend and though I tried NOT to overdo it, we still had 5 dishes in tow (and 4 wines). We started the evening with a Camile Saves Grand Cru Rose from Bouzy with loads of apple and a long finish:
And a 2008 Markus Molitor Urziger Wurzgarten Spatlese
We noshed on mixed cheeses
Mixed salumi
Pate
And smoked salmon with eggs on toast
We then uncorked a 2003 Guigal Brune et Blonde Cote Rotie
And a 2000 Pride Mountain Vineyards Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
For the rack of lamb
Served with roasted baby potatoes
And we also uncorked a 2000 Quintarelli Ca del Merlo which was concentrated and rich on the palate with a long finish
And a 2007 Achaval Ferrer Finca Mirador Malbec
For the pastitsio
And since man (and woman) don't live by meat and starch alone, I made my smoked almonds and pea salad
And zucchini carpaccio
We ended the evening with tiramisu and a limoncello ice cream
With a 2005 Baumard Coteaux du Layon Chenin Blanc
Another great meal with good friends and good food & wine. Already looking forward to the next one...
