"Blended flavors" was the theme of the 2007 Wine Around. Almost the entire cul-de-sac participated with a special visit from two former residents. The evening began (left photo) with sparkling wine from Spain, stops at two other homes before finishing at our home. At each home four families presented a blended wine with a complimenting food choice. We served (right photo) a 2004 Primus blend of Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot from Veramonte, Chile, with beef stew following an Argentinean recipe.
An impromptu tequila tasting on a neighbor's deck brought the evening to a close. We searched for answers to several difficult questions. Is tequilla añejo really better than tequilla reposado? Is that a worm? Do you have any pants on? It was time to say good night.
