Another really busy week....I'm really sorry....really.....can we be friends? A quick post is in order. How does some shrimp risotto with a really affordable wine sound? I think it sounds spectacular.
My wife and I managed to work quite a few evenings until 8 pm this week so we had lots of late but delicious dinners. One of those nights I whipped up some shrimp risotto from one of our favorite Epicurious recipes. As always, it filled all the nooks and crannys and offered a great foil to one of my favorite affordable white wines, Anakena Sauvignon Blanc. The 2010 vintage is full of tropical fruit and citrus on the nose and lots of melon, lemon, and mineral (nice zing) on the palate. At only $8, it's a winner.
Have a great weekend. Stay tuned for some tastings from our trip to DC. Happy sipping!

We had shrimp risotto whipped up by one of Aunt Sue's Ozzie friends. Yum, but it looked hard. Can you share the recipe?
ReplyDeleteHere you go. Some of the reviews offer some nice variations on the recipe.
