So Good: Food & Wine with Heather Johnston

Video: Spanish Wine Tasting in Madrid

Here is what we enjoyed on this last post from Madrid: The wines were Protos Verdejo, 2008 a white from the Rueda Region made with Verdejo, Casa de la Ermita, 2008, a rose from Jumilla made with Grenache and Mouvedre and Bodegas Porsellanes' Entrepins, 2008, a red from Valencia made with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The cheese plate included Manchego, Tetilla, and Membrillo, and the cured meats were Jamon Serrano, Salchichon and Lomo Curado. Soooo good!

The wines I poured are Peconic Bay Winery's 2005 Steel Fermented Chardonnay and Corey Creek's Gerwurztraminer and Cabernet Franc.  For the cheeses, I chose an Italian Piave and a French Triple Cream St. Andre.  Nice combinations especially on the terrace of the lovely Harborfront Inn in Greenport, LI.
