WINE NOTES

2005 Melini Chianti San Lorenzo

100% Sangiovese. Aged in a combination of oak casks, barriques and steel -- giving the wine a modern twist with Tuscan roots. The founder of this winery actually helped to develop the quintessential straw-covered flask that is synonymous with traditional chianti. (The straw-covered flask allowed for shipping, opening up the wine market considerably.) Has a pronounced raspberry and blackberry bouquet with hints of violet and iris. Goes well with meat sauce, antipasto and other dishes where full-flavored proteins are featured – a great match with the Asian spaghetti.


2003 El Coto de Rioja Crianza

100% Tempranillo. Aged first in steel vats, then in oak to give it character. Ripe strawberry and raspberry nose with a vanillin note. Palate is smooth, balanced, fresh, dry and clean. Great with grilled veggies and lighter proteins – pairs well with the carpaccio and snapper.

• 2 large onions, 1/4-inch dice
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 pound ground beef, naturally fed
• 1 pound ground pork, naturally fed

Add the tomatoes with liquid, naturally brewed soy sauce and basil and bring to a simmer. Taste for flavor and simmer until reduced by 20%, about 1 hour.
