A dinner party inspired by Emiglia-Romagna

Having been unwell all week my diet hasn't been altogether that exciting and featured heavily in the cups of tea and medication department. However by the weekend I was champing at the big for some socialisation and headed to my good friend 's house for some chat and some nosh.



Antipasto



Il Coroncino Verdicchio



Red wine and rosemary risotto



Capel Vale 1998 Merlot



Pan Roasted Chicken with fresh Basil and Balsamic Pesto tossed beans



Galway Pipe Tawny Port



King Island Dairy Roaring 40s Blue and Double Brie, Margaret River Smoked Cheddar and my lemon curd tart



There were actually another couple of wines in there including a 2007 Flying Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc and Penfold's Club Port but as we finished a bottle of each of the wines mentioned here between 4 of us and I was medicated for my cold I rather forgot to keep taking pictures. On the plus side at least we didn't make it to the point that drinking the Stone's seemed like a good idea.
