Back Door Bargain

After a warm sunny Sunday..it was hot on the football pitch(the round-ball version)…poached Salmon for the evening meal…. and a perfect match is any Pinot Noir…this marriage convinces even the most stubborn folk about red wine and fish.

Sex In A Glass Vintage
Submitted by Barry’s Wine Notes & Memories
The vintage 2005 was excellent in both Germany and France….for the sexy grape…Spät-Pinot-Burgunder-Noir.
