A cold wet Sunday afternoon and I’m forced to look at a question that maybe you can help me with.
What do singles who enjoy wine, yet are alone, choose to drink?
I made beautiful rare lamb chops and roasted potatoes, no greens sorry, and wanted to warm up this afternoon. Do I open a bottle of red only to have it go bad by the time I could finish it later this week or settle for a brew? Actually, neither for today. I chose port. I know that’s not traditional for lamb and I wondered how would it pair with rosemary? Really well. The link takes you to the brand of port – ruby, not the year, alas. I got mine at Trader Joe’s for about $8. However I have discovered some wonderful local port that’s a lot better – Sonoma Portworks has a couple of types, chocolate, petite sirah port and definitely worth the extra bucks. And they are nearby – walking distance when not raining.
Yet what do other singletons do? At best, on my own, a simple glass is suffice, with a friend we can finish the bottle. But here I am working on business with the heat going, candles burning and had to have some spirits… port anyone?
