nothing can cure a cold, rainy minnesota day like cheese, crackers and wine. so today, i am posting about my tasty dinner. {see, i can have cheese, crackers and wine as my dinner... gosh i love being independent}. the cheese is called murcia al vino or drunken goat. it is a spanish goat cheese with a rind washed in wine: just radiating with rich flavor. {best served at room temperature for the ease of spreading and definition of the true goat cheese flavor. so flavorful that just one little sliver 'll do. i sprinkled herb de provence for an earthy zest. the crackers: heathy little buggers.... almond rice thins: super crispy & salty, and extremely addicting. and finally, a big glass of 2009 lodi zinfandel by Plungerhead. loving the flavor blends of dried strawberry, dark raspberry, plum sauce, cedar, and pomegranate and hit of white pepper and cherry liquor {no, i couldn't really taste and distinguish those specific flavors, i cheated and looked it up. but it sure tastes like a blend of all that} it is deep, toasty, and fruity but in a brambly sort of way. the packaging is great as well! it has a very unique "twist off".... you'll have to get one yourself too see what i mean.!
mmm.....mmmm... MMM! wish you could join me!
{ps. haskell's is having their nickel days, which extends through the end of this month, great wines are a S T E A L}
