Recently, we had our Greek friend and his daughter over for dinner. Since our granddaughter has been visiting us and helping us in the vineyard, we thought that it would be a good chance for our friend's daughter and our granddaughter to see each other again. We think that the last time they saw each other was some 7 years ago! It was a little tricky to get our friends over since they had a trip to Greece on their schedule for Friday late evening but they were able to find a little time on Thursday evening. We know that their daughter loves Asian cuisine, they call her the Caucasian who loves Asian food so that is what we made. Our friend brought over this 2022 Martinelli Rosé of Pinot Noir and it went very well with the food we served.
The Martinelli Rosé is made from grapes grown on their estate vineyards. The family has been in the wine making business since the 1860's and they are currently the 6th generation grape growers and winemakers! That is longevity!
My husband made karaage chicken, which is chicken marinated in teriyaki sauce, coated with cornstarch and fried. It comes out crispy, light and delicious! We also had a soba noodle salad, white rice and sushi. Most of all, we had a good time catching up before they went to Greece. A little later in the evening, our friend's wife who drove down from Massachusetts with her son also came over and livened up the evening.
Here is a photo of our meal:
For dessert we had chocolate covered fresh bing cherries and chocolate covered strawberries. Sorry no photos, we were too anxious to try the dessert.
It was a perfect evening---Friends! Food! Good Wine!
