Last Sunday we had eggs and Tiara, a sparkling wine from Crown Winery in Tennessee. It was a case of, OMG, I must have had too many tastings when I tasted this one and thought it was good. It was dryer than we usually like, but we drank it....
Monday with sausage and sauerkraut, we had a Texas Moscato from Homestead Winery in Ivanhoe, TX. This is a bit sweeter than we usually like, but It was very nice with the sausage. Tuesday we had lamb. I paired it with Texas Sunrise, a blush wine that had been blended by the wine club at one of the blending parties. It was lovely. It has been replicated and bottled at the Triple "R" Ranch and Winery in Whitesboro, Texas. We bought it at the Lone Star Wines tasting room in McKinney, TX. It was semi-sweet, but full bodied enough to stand up to the lamb very nicely.
Thursday we were planning on going to a Wine 101 class at D'Vine where we would have been fed several wines, cheeses, and great information. We started early thinking we'd stop by Homestead on the way. About fifteen minutes after we started, Chad called to cancel out. We had been the only people to sign up. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE???? So, we turned around and came back home. Unfortunately, I hadn't planned on anything for dinner. I pulled out some chicken and cheese quesedilla appetisers and some cheese, crackers, and almonds. Took them out to the back porch with a bottle of Landon Winery's (McKinney, TX) Yellow Rose, a sweet/tart yellow wine with the flavor of peach and pineapple. It was beautiful weather. We just read, talked about our books, and noshed until dark. Great evening.
This morning I had poached eggs and ham on fiber crackers and TR had creamed sausage on biscuits. With it I served another bottle of the Cerise that we bought at Leonard Oaks Winery near my brother's house in Gasport, NY. It is a lovely wine...
