Wine Tasting
mmmm Wine.
Last night I ditched school and went with my sister (Annie) and stepsister (Julie) to Tina's to their monthly wine tasting.
Basically it's just good food and wine for a set price. This month's theme was South America (Argentina/Chile).
We started off with an Argentina salad with roasted peppers, red onion and a tart dressing.
Next we had Empanadas - the filling was great with green olive, beef and egg
Following that we had a stuffed pasta that was ravioli-like filled with a creamy meat filling that just melted in your mouth. Next was the Gaucho Steak, cooked perfectly medium rare and with a chimichurri sauce - So yummy. Desert was a choice of a lemon cake or cappuccino cake. Eh.
The wine wasn't spectacular. I liked the chardonnay we had with the salad and the malbec we had with the empanadas but I could have done without the others.
Not the best wine tasting I've been to at Tina's but a good effort. The food was worth the pricetag but I'm not sure I'll pick up any of those wines.

Sounds FUN! But Chilean wine (red or white) will always give me a headache. One glass, five glasses--always--it's weird.
Food sounds yummy, though.
