Wine of the week

[PolishWineP]

I love Sunday nights. There's usually a good meal here!

This week was Swiss Linguine Casserole, asalad with Ceasar dressing and Feta cheese, and some of Pepere's Green Apple Riesling to wash it all down.

Pepere, I could sure drink some more of that wine! Good thing we only got a short bottle!

It's sweet without being too sweet and didn't over power dinner. Bert found a hint of pear in the aroma. I just call it all around intoxicating!

PWP,


That casserole looks great! All I had today was Asagio Chicken from Olive Garden (my wife's treat!) The kids were putting together fruit baskets with the Church and my honey and me had the afternoon to ourselves. That really looks good!

Okay, what is Swill Linguine?

PWP:


The meal looks awesome!!

Sorry we don't live closer for an invite to that dinner I'd have brought a couple of bottles eh?


The G A Riesling is one of the wifes very favorite wines. I added 2.5lbs of extra sugar and used only half the "F" pack.


I suspect the next time I venture another batch if I were youI'd keep an eye out for the guy in "Brown Shorts"

Here's the link to the recipe. It's now Swiss Linguine instead of Swill Linguine. We bottled wine yesterday and then we had dinner, drinking that Green Apple Riesling. I don't think my fingers were working very well.

That's a big jump across the key board from "s" to "L". How much of the bottle did "Poor Bert" get ?

 

[NorthernWinos]

I really thought it was meant to be Swill....thought maybe you didn't like it...so named it that way....funny!!!

 

[Wade E]

Now thats swell.

 

[PolishWineP]

That's a big jump across the key board from "s" to "L". How much of the bottle did "Poor Bert" get ?

ROFLMAO!

Poor Bert got his share of that bottle. There is a logic to it. Both the S and the L are both typed with the ring finger, I just used the wrong hand. You should have seen it before I originally posted it!

It was a real mess!

 

[Pepere]

Wow! maybe I'd better cut back on the extra sugar in the next batch

 

[Bert]

I'll just have to keep better track of the number of glasses she has...

...If you refill your glass before it is empty does that count as one glass or two???
I think the extra sugar was just fine Pepere.

 

[Angell Wine]

Just don't count. It always breaks my concretion on the matters at hand. Drinking good wine !!

 

[Pepere]

Bert, I tried to talk the other half into giving up a 750 of the G.A. Riesling.........it was no go.

I was informed that we didn't have much left and I could make another batch after the Holiday's. Guess I'llhave to wait 'till then. Oh well!


She just looked over my shoulder at this post and said we had 2 bottles left and unless I have the opener in hand she wouldn't tell me where she hid them.

That's one smart woman!

 

[Bert]

Pepere; you know how the other half is always looking out for our best interest....how can we go wrong..

 

[LeiniePrincess]

PWP! Where did you get those dishes and matching placemats? I think I might cry because I have not been receiving the notifications of new posts for this wall!!

 

[PolishWineP]

Sorry LeiniePrincess,
I've been on the run lately and haven't been able to get much time on the forum.
I got the dishes and mats at Hugo's, a grocery chain in the area. They were really fun and I really liked them, so I started buying. A friend who is really into dishes saw what I was buying and gave me salt & pepper and a candle holder to go with them!

Maybe you could stop up for dinner some night and when you're "in the area" and we could use those! Heck, we'd even do a wine of the week if you show up!

 

[PolishWineP]

Today was such a busy day for this princess! I finished the last of my Christmas cards, finished decorating the tree and wrapped gifts to put under it! I'm exhausted!

But I did manage to cook supper. It was tacos and rice. I love tacos! Hard shell, all the way! We had a commercial wine tonight!

Carl Sittmann, a Mosel River Riesling. This is one of our regular commercial wines. The first time we bought it for the pretty blue bottle, but now we buy it for the wine in the bottle. It stands up to most anything you throw at it.

So glad to be going back to work tomorrow so I can get some rest!
