Seven Daughters

Thanks to my new friend Erin who brought this pink corked bottle to a recent girls' night in!

This is a great "go-to" white wine.  I haven't tried the red, but you can read about them both at the Seven Daughters website.

According to the label, "Seven Daughters is a blend of seven carefully chosen grapes crafted into a crisp and refreshing wine.  Like you and your friends getting together - all different and yet so perfect together!  Enjoy this wine on its own or with light pasta, sushi, or Thai dishes."

The website adds, "this wine pairs deliciously with fruit salad, sushi, white fish (snapper, grouper, scallops), as well as Cantonese, Thai, and Latin cuisines."

Publix Wine #1: Vinecol Chardonnay Organic

A few weeks ago I had just discovered, and taken advantage of, the fact that at Publix you get a 10% discount if you purchase eight bottles of wine.  I selected eight different varieties I was interested in trying, so when my friends, Brian and Keri, very graciously hosted me in their new home by serving roasted chicken, grilled zucchini, and rice pilaf I chose what I hoped would be a good pairing from my tiny collection.

The 2008 Vinecol Chardonnay (Mendoza, Argentina) was splendid on its own, and it complimented the grilled chicken flavored with fresh rosemary quite nicely.

Brian and Keri not only served a delicious dinner, but they loaned me their copy of Wine for Dummies.  As I have time to read the book I will share my findings!  Thanks guys!
