Tonight’s dinner after a nice tasting at Susan’s was the tortollini left by our cat-sitter for the time we were over in Las Vegas. It was a nice pork sausage stuffed pasta with a light tomato sauce. I added some fire-roasted tomatoes with roasted garlic to moisten the pasta. The pasta was served with freshly grated Parmagiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano.
The tortollini was enjoyed with a 1995 Argiano Solengo - pleasant lightly herbal berry fruit, ok acidity, and a medium-long herbal berry finish. The cab and merlot components of the wine were not as aggressive as i had feared, and the syrah contributed its bright berry fruit.
Then we finished with three gelatos - vanilla, chocolate-hazelnut, and chocolate. Carollee had her Coquila on the rocks, while I had Coquila and Godiva Chocolate liqueur over the gelati. Dessert was enjoyed while watching practice for the final F1 Grand Prix at Abu Dhabi (via TiVo).
