Dinner

Last night, l'amatriciana with our new guanciale (yum). Now we have a nearby butcher that has guanciale that they make themselves. It is very good, rich and deep flavored, perfect when pancetta just won’t do. Maddine savored the 2007 Asura Poggio Brigante, Morellino di Scansano. A review of her first tasting of this back in 05 said that it was intense and very aggressive, too young. Well, I guess all good things come to those that wait and now is the exact right time to drink it. Lucky for Maddine we have another bottle, from kitchen, “It had the most amazing finish.” We try to get over to Scansano at least once a year because the wine can be great and a real value.

Tonight, Pesto.
