February-old world wines

We Had a small group and some interesting variations this month. The theme was old world wines and finger foods.

Sara hosted. She made some delicious grilled cheesers. They had Brie and a cranberry sauce on a baguette!

Issy brought some yummy meatballs in a great sauce!

Mary brought a Mexican layer dip and chips.

Brooke brought satay grilled chicken and peanut sauce.

We started with a 2009 Bolla Sangiovese. It was very light in body. But east to drink.
We also had a great Chianti from the vineyard of Straccali.
The Louis Jadot 2011 Beaujolais-Villages was a very smooth finish.
The last taste and most unique was the 2007 Volteo Temranillo from Spain. It had a bouquet of the SW New Mexico Dairies but the flavor was deep and earthy. Pepper was noted. It went great with the chicken Satay.
