I was lucky to be invited to a Pinot Noir tasting today and I just couldn't say no. John Haeger literally wrote the book on Pinot Noir and was having some winemakers, vineyard owners, etc for a blowout tasting of 35 Pinots. It was very cool as they were mostly from Carneros (CA) & Willamette (OR).
I made lunch
Grilled Lamb over spring greens
Cannellini beans
cooked for over two hrs..in a heavy pot - saute three cloves of garlic, one yellow onion in olive oil until clearish and a small handfull of fresh thyme, add beans that you soaked overnight, cover beans with water and bring to a slow simmer for 1-2hrs while your reading emails..
Then when they are done add salt to taste! There are leftovers for Tracey:)

How the hell do you stay so skinny with all that good food?
Lamb? Man that is right off the list. I'd be 150 lbs again.
I am going to go have my protein meal replacement now. Taste like chocolate flavored medicine.
I do grab a rice cake every now and then.
I don't know a damn thing about wine, but I have been enjoying the PN out of Willamette. Much more complex and interesting than the CA stuff I've tried.
Baaaahhhh
Dammit Willamette...
Willakenzie is good pinot, I'll drop off a jug at Sea Otter for you & OV.
gotta go do some tt-ervals
So, what was the best of the tasting?
I've been sipping some Joseph Swan PN lately...yum!
