 Sunday found Charles and me at Pilot Peak's White Wine Release Party. (You can see us in the upper left hand corner. Just look for the arrows.) Besides getting to have some super awesome wines, we also got to have some very yummy food. We paired our amazing crackers, soft cheese, and Pacific Rim Chicken Salad with a sparklingly complex Sauvignon Blanc. We were also lucky enough to try their wonderful Late Harvest Viognier which was the perfect amount of sweet and paired beautifully with white chocolate dipped strawberries. We purchased a bottle of Viognier which was light and refreshing. (It's also the only white you can still purchase, so hurry, hurry, hurry!) And if all of that fun, sunshine, great food, and amazing wine wasn't enough, we also got to try some local, chocolate truffles which were so good, I hope we start carrying them in the store. I'll have to tell our Perishables Buyer they're a MUST have. Some days are just so terrific, the only way to finish them off is to sigh in contentment and dream about wine, food, and chocolate.  |
