Kirsten and I made some pasta for dinner last night. We added some ground sausage and wine to some La Rossa's pasta sauce and set it to simmer while we boiled the water for pasta. For the wine, we opened a bottle of 2004 Valley of the Moon Zinfandel. Kirsten and I had toured this winery during a trip to Sonoma a couple years ago, and while we enjoyed the wine, we definitely enjoyed some other wines even more. This was the only bottle we purchased from this winery on that trip; and after the first couple sips the memories of mediocrity came flooding back. While certainly not a bad wine, it wasn't a great wine either. It was better than the Northern Vines, but not as good as the Doobie Red. In fact, the more time that goes by, the more I wish I had bought more of that particular wine.
Tragity struck the Walters house on Thursday when I ran out of coffee. So, a trip to may favorite new (and some would say inconveniently located) coffee shop, J & S Bean Factory. Don't let the silly name fool you, they are serious bean heads. They purchase the raw beans from co-ops, farmers, or ethical resellers and roast the beans on site. K stopped by on the way home, and picked up a pound of Tanzanian Peaberry. I brewed my first pot this morning, and let me tell you, those are some delicious beans. LIght, fruity and strongly caffeinated. Makes a great start to a saturday, or any morning really.
