Quality time with family and close friends is the thing I cherish most. Add to that braised short ribs and a great bottle of wine and I could not be happier. My New Year's wine was the Old Lakeville Syrah from Bedrock Wine Company. Morgan Twain-Peterson is a friend and an extraordinarily talented winemaker. This single-vineyard Syrah from the Sonoma Coast showed beautifully, with bright notes of violet, perfume, blackberry, plum, and spice. The aromatics were abundant with a ton of wild herbs on the palate and finish. What a great way to start 2013! |
