So, I have this change jar on my desk at work, and when it fills up, I take it to coinstar and use all the money for wine. Usually just 1 nice bottle, but sometimes a few different things to "try out"
well, today is jar day. I usually get about 75$.
I'm cooking a mini-feast for my fiance and I tonight for some nice NJ weather outdoor dining.....
first I'm going to make a Caponata on garlic toast as kind of an antipasti
then I'm going to make a spring green salad with some breaded/broiled goat cheese
then for main I'm going to make a fettuccine with asparagus, roma tomatos, some left over mushrooms some herbs, with some Dill with just some oliveoil, lemon....I might put some salmon filet in there for the misses and some chicken in there for me.
for dessert, I'm not sure, probably a tiramisu that I'll pick up from wegmans or something. or just whip up some ice cream or maybe some cheeses.
So, tonight I thought it would be fun to pair with each dish.
with say...100$....which of some common-in-the-store wines would you get for each dish? I prefer reds but i realize the main is not very red friendly....so I'm open to whites for this meal too.
I don't know italian wines but enjoy chianti very much and usually stock classico reserve chianti....
