I got home after the gym to find my roomie entertaining a nice friend of his from high school, her husband (who is German) and their adorable children (who speak German). Reminded me how much I appreciate multilingualism. I love the idea of raising children speaking something besides English, but I'd have to learn another language first :)
Nils had made a few pizzas (pesto with pecans, peppers and onions) and a big salad, and we all sat around, had dinner, and watched the kids draw on the white board (the oldest has a real artistic flair). I opened a bottle of Yalumba Bush Vine Grenache to go with the pizza, and I was pleasantly surprised. I'd tried a few of Yalumba's offerings at the wine tasting last weekend, and enjoyed their Viognier and Shiraz/Viognier blends (very Cote Rotie of them!).
The Grenache was pinker than I expected with nice fresh red fruit flavors, pretty easy drinking but a slight bite. Price point is usually under $15--I found it in Whole Foods. Great while the air is still cool but the promise of spring is very real.
