So everyone needs to report on their snowed in wines over this week. What goes well with a blizzard? We are expecting 20 inches here in Santa Fe so we will be dipping into the wine cabinet.

Holy Moley, Larry! 20"?? We're still getting conflicting reports here, but at least 12" is likely. Tonight's pre-blizzard offering was:
2007 Hans Wirsching Iphöfer Kalb Scheurebe nose: herbal, with floral overtones palate: off-dry, crisply acidic, fruit, herbs, flowersServed with a dinner of seared dry-packed scallops on wilted spinach, this wine sang with all sorts of savory notes. It was purchased locally, and fortunately for us I have more.

Yep maybe more if we are really unlucky. Temperature has dropped 15 degrees since noon down to -8 by tomorrow. Tonight was homemade chicken pot pies with homemade carrot ginger soup. Merry Edwards 2007 Sauvingnon blanc. Crisp and fruity as well. big juicy grapefruit and a hint of oak though not sure it saw oak.
81F and sunny here on Marco Island. 2009 Cliff Lede Sauvignon Blanc with grilled Gulf Pink Shrimp.>
Tonight with chicken with orange and peanut sauce and coconut milk rice had a sake we brought back from Yamagata Prefecture this past October. Plums and cherries forever.
