Yummy….

Last night for din-din, I cooked bourbon and peppercorn marinated shrimp kabobs with a baked sweet potato and grilled squash.  It was a perfect summer meal on a beautiful summer evening.  I was particularly impress with the wine I had with my meal sans family.  On a whim I grabbed a bottle of Dancing Bull Sauvignon Blanc 2005 out of the cooler at my local Price Chopper.  It was on sale and i enjoy their Zinfandel, so I thought “what the hell.”  I was not disappointed.  For a mere $7.99, the wine was very well done and very “usable” as far as it would be an easy pairing with most foods but with the shrimp and the sweet potato it was perfect.  It was a fresh and juicy with bites of grapefruit, apple and, I think, pear but it was not too sweet, there was a herby-undernote that I couldn’t place but it balanced the ripe sweetness very well.  Overall, for the money, this is a sweet deal.
