Auntie El and the girls were in town briefly and they dropped by for cocktails before we all headed out for dinner.
1669. N.V. Sacchetto Prosecco (Prosecco DOC - Italy)
1670. 2010 Layer Cake Shiraz (South Australia)
I don't think that they'd be upset - or that anyone would be alarmed - if I said that my aunt and the cousins are famously fussy when it comes to deciding on a menu. As such, we opted for pizza and Italian. We always know that they'll be something that they can dig into whole-heartedly.
1671. 2012 Luigi Bosca - Finca La Linda Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza - Argentina)
Their palates aren't nearly as limited when it comes to having a sip. While I may well serve up something that's totally new to them - like the Aperol and Prosecco aperitif - they're pretty much open to wines of all bents. There's a definite preference for whites on my aunt's part but I can accept that. No problem. In fact, I'm known to have downed a few bottles of white wine myself over the years.
