Enjoyed with a good friend in our new Sausalito home. It paired beautifully alongside the following meal:

 

Farmer’s Market Golden Heirloom Tomato, Fresh Peas, Squash Blossoms under the broiler for a second, dressed with a few drops of fresh Basil Olive Oil

Black Cod, on top of a Golden Beet, on top of a few Caramelized Onions, on top of Black Forbidden Rice on top of  a Sauce of Roasted Golden Beets and Sweet Peppers

Assorted Cheeses

    What is the photo? Is it a rock structure in Burgundy?

    Hey Burgundy Bob,

    Great question. I took this photograph a few days ago while on a hike in the Marin Headlands in Northern California and it is certainly a rock formation!

    Cheers,

    Looks like an anticline to me!

    Ahh… but was the photo taken before or after the wine was drunk — inquiring minds want to know!

    After, of course!

    But, I must admit, sometimes you taste a wine and it makes you think of an image that you have already seen or a photograph that you have already taken. And, it did take me a while to find the right image for this particular wine, but I think it suits it well.
