AZ Wine dinner at the Dhaba
Quote of the Day:
W: I'm just going to give you my wine.
D: Do not just give me your wine. I got sick last time because you kept pouring your wine into my cup and I was too drunk to stop you.
W: You're just going to throw your Indian food up anyway, so you might as well drink my wine.
D: Oh rub it in. Indian food doesn't agree with me half the time, so I'm going to have enough trouble drinking my own wine.
W: Why do you want to go again?
D: IT IS WORTH IT!
And it was.
The end.
Ha ha, okay well it was a nice dinner with local wines and Indian food at the Dhaba. The pairings were mostly good, but the first wine, a Fume Blanc from Oak Creek Vineyard, I felt went a bit astringent with the spices in the chole though it was good on its own.
The second was a Chardonnay from Rancho Rossa, and while it was a good example of the variety, I am not a fan. I also did not care for the Hara Bhara Kabob. I'm glad I tried it, but it's not something I'd get again.
A mixed red from Dribble Creek was served with the fabulous chicken korma, which was not nearly as spicy as the lamb korma, go fig. I spilled most of the wine on the table fumbling my glass, so that was kind of fail. Drinkable for a red, but I'm not a fan of reds.
A Four Monkeys muscat wine was with dessert, and since I like my whites sweet that was my favorite.
So, good fun and good food. I am glad I went, even though I ended up drinking two of Wm's glasses of wine anyway.
