Tonight’s dinner was Lentil soup with added vegetable stock, pepperoni, and granulated garlic; with a nice 2000 Karly Amador County Syrah - cork barely touched, good rich dark color with no edge; good rich berry and cassis fruit, with good acidity, and resolved tannins; and a rich, complex berry fruit finish.
Then for dessert we had glasses of Banfi Grappa di Montalcino and a shared half of a nice, crisp Pink Lady Apple.
