Sunday Betsy had 2 concerts, it was 8:45 before she got home. I'd make a Ch ilean styled pork, corn, and tomato dish, served along with quinoa and an A sian styled slaw. Had no Chilean wine, but at least went Spanish language, with the 2012 Breca (Calatayud). Ripe j ammy, not my style, kirsch and cassis. Whoa, 15.5%. C+
Monday I made a Trinidadian chickpea/potato curry and Indian styled Broccol i, served with leftover slaw and the 2009 A.J. Adam Dhroner Riesling. Modes t sugars, modest acids, a bit dull and ponderous. Pretty unexciting. David said this is an awkward time for 2009s, maybe true. For me, now, C+/B-
Tuesday was nice evening to eat outside again, I made grilled teriyaki salm on, brown rice with fresh shiso, kale, squash, and salad. Wine was the 1996 Bouree Chambolle-Musigny. Drinking nicely, some '96 acids but tannins reso lved, black cherry accented with sandalwood., Not profound but nice Tuesday night Burg. B/B+
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine , B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectiv ity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
