The focus of tonight's dinner was wine. You've gotta love that!Pey-Marin, a Marin County winery that we discovered a few months ago was hosting an evening at our favorite neighborhood wine bar, Nectar. On offer was a 4-wine flight: sauvignon blanc, pinot noir, merlot, and syrah.
To go along with the wine, we ordered several small plates of food:
> Phyllo dough triangles stuffed with blue cheese and spinach
> A mixed green salad with beets, almonds, and a minty dressing
> Tuna tartar (pictured)
> Ricotta gnocchi
> Charcuterie and cheese plate
All of it was delicious, but the highlight was the prosciutto on the charcuterie plate. It was so soft and savory - among the best prosciutto I've ever had.
In terms of the wine, surprisingly my favorite was the merlot. This is normally a grape I do not much care for but this one was so tasty that we bought 3 bottles! Yum, yum, wine is fun!
