Mushrooms

Santa Rosa, October 17, 2010—
TO FRIENDS FOR DINNER this evening, as we lean into another departure — we'll eat at home tomorrow, then not again for weeks. Why not get into the mood?#alttext# Mac and Margery had bought wine-cap mushrooms at the farmers market, and cooked them up with a few shiitakes, and red and yellow peppers, to serve over tagliatelle. Afterward, tomatoes and cucumbers; watermelon for dessert. A pleasant meal, just what we were in the mood for.
Sauvignon blanc, Husch Vineyards (Mendocino county), "Renegade", 2009 (soft, floral, and easy on the palate); Sauvignon blanc, Preston of Dry Creek (Sonoma county), 2008, serious structure, complex
