First Zucchini Blossoms of the Summer

Dinner with Uwe and Robert is always magical.

First you start with the blossoms...fresh from the garden....flour

And fry...and salt .....and eat.

We had Sauvignon Blanc from Italy

And follow that with the world's best Chicken Pot Pie.

I eat at Uwe's house several times a week. Guess why...He's my BROTHER.

With this we had 2007 Bryon Pinot Noir from Santa Maria Valley. I loved the wine, they did not. Too extracted, too much color. Not delicate enough. They thought it was too "masculine", I thought it was very California and tasty tho a bit jammy. Is that feminine?

Have you ever thought of wine as "masculine" or feminine? Is that a wine country silly thing? Think about it the next time you have a glass of wine. let me know. maybe I've been here too long...

Or perhaps I should ponder it over another glass of wine...
