August's dinner was Wine Tasting hosted by Paprika, who selected White as her Wine Theme
Elegantly decorated with white tablecloth, flowers and candles, oh and some sassy wine napkins she picked up her recent winery trip!
Grapes brought Pinot Grigio that we all felt would make a better mixer for Sangria or a wine spritzer than just a glass after a long day. She also brought White Pizzas (tomato basil and spinach) - Delish!
I, Couscous, brought a Semillion blend (Semillion/Sauvignon Blanc) which we discovered is a dessert wine and we discovered we are not dessert wine gals! I also brought Brie with cranberries, walnuts and thyme.
Saucy brought the best wine of the night, a Sauvignon Blanc which was from an Earth Friendly winery too!! Her appetizer was a white bean bruschetta on baguette- Yum!
Paprika, who always overdoes (LOL), made mini white pizzas, had us try a tomato wine (different, very different) and made a fabulous dessert of ice wine over ice cream with sugared frozen grapes! So.....we did discover a way that we like a dessert wine - ON dessert!
Another successful dinner club, even if the wines weren't all winners! We still had great food, discovered more likes and dislikes and enjoyed good laughs and good friends.
