Dinner this evening was a Rib-Eye that was marinated in olive oil and Italian herbs, cooked with the Sous Vide and finished in a smoking cast iron pan. A baked potato and a fresh cucumber straight from the garden were the sides. A bottle of 2006 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino completed the delicious meal. #dinner #food #steak #sousvide #SundaySupper #wine #italy #brunello #garden #farmtotable #wineblog #blogger #ItalianWine #vinoDelicious dinner this evening. A thick cut pork chop cooked with the sous vide and finished in a scorching hot cast iron pan. This was served with stuffed zucchini and pesto pasta salad with a bottle of outstanding 2012 Carlisle Syrah James Berry Vineyard. #wine #food #pork #chop #SundaySupper #SousVide #California #Syrah #dinner #blogger #wineblogDinner this evening was a pork loin I cooked with the sous vide and finished in a cast iron pan with corn (frozen from last year's garden) and a personal favorite, pea salad (with peas also frozen from last year's garden). A bottle of 2008 Lillian Winery Syrah completed the meal. #wine #food #blog #blogger #pork #SousVide #garden #FarmToTable #Syrah #California #redwineAfter the tasting of #LodiWine earlier this week, I decided to check in with a personal favorite from the area, a 2013 Michael-David Vineyards Petit Verdot Inkblot. I decided to pair it with a hot off the grill burger and baked beans. #wine #food #wineblog #blog #blogger #burger #cheeseburger #Lodi #LodiWine #redwineCheck out my latest blog at cliffswinepicks.com or the link in my bio.

A bottle of 2009 Jaffe Estate Transformation, a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot from the Napa Valley. #2018bestnine #bestnine2018 #wine #winelover #wineblog #blog #blogger #Cabernet #Merlot #California #Napa #RedWine #beef #SundaySupperIt was a cold day here today, at least South Carolina cold, temperature in the mid to upper 40s. That called for a nice, hearty dinner. We made a couple of our Italian favorites. First up was an Italian Herb Burger, a burger made with fresh basil, oregano, garlic, parsley and green onion. I grill it up briefly on hot to firm it up and get some nice grill marks. The burger is then slowly simmered in Marinara sauce. The side dish is layers of potatoes, onions and tomatoes with olive oil and fresh basil that gets baked for an hour. A bottle of 2006 Tenuta Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino completed the very tasty meal. #2018bestnine #bestnine #bestnine2018 #food #wine #blogger #wineblog #redwine #brunello #montalcino #Italy #FarmtoTable #Italian #Garden@cliffordbrown3
