Red Meat on the Plate, Red Bubbles in the Glass
Last week BK and I had quite the wonderful meal. We had picked up a duo of really thick New York steaks, so he prepared one in the oven on a slow bake before searing it. Meanwhile, artichokes were boiling away, as were potatoes, waiting to be mashed. At the same time, I was opening a bottle of NV Patritti sparkling shiraz I had grabbed after work for $14 from Cost Plus World Market. I was thinking how bubbly is always great for a celebration, and it was the night of our actual anniversary, which I wrote about last week. This particular bottle of red bubbly was not the best I’ve had, but it was quite nice for the price. I immediately picked up notes of toffee and pecan, almost like a Heath bar. There were also cherry cordials, raspberry, and hints of coffee. But it was really the meal that took center stage.
