Spring is here...I Hope
This weekend was he first good weather we had so TSO and I decided to turn a chicken on the barbi on Saturday. Now this is a 3 hour job, but its worth it. Got the chicken at the market from the same family my grandmum bought her chicken. That's 3 generations of purchasing and the if quality was good enuff for Maude then its good enuff for me.
Now since we had a couple of hours to kill, it was time to sit on the deck and that means rose. Well Tso rearranged my wine and I couldn't find any “Summer Sun”. This is an issue but I found a bottle of Argentinian Rose made with Sangiovese grapes. Now I thought I was buying a case of red wine when I ordered it but it is interesting. Deep rose, lots of flavor and a wee bit heavy. In a pinch it was fine. Tso thought it would make a great sangria.
Well we solved that on Sunday morning. Seems Alma was happy to sell me some Summer Sun and some Riesling. We had some Summer Sun on Sunday afternoon on the deck and the world seemed right. It was quite cool but right.
The Erie Shores wine is to me the best Rose around. It is not pretentious but like Vinho Verde it just works. There are more complex Rose's but this one just screams to be drank with friends on the patio.
Thank God spring is springing.
