No Wine Day
Nov. 29
As a result of falling asleep and falling out of a chair the night before yesterday, I was left with a slight whip on my neck. I have pain from my left shoulder to my neck.
The bump on the forehead is on the right side. I also have a little pain in my left knee.
How on floor did I fall out of my chair?
Today’s dish
Raw Oysters
Salmon, Avocado, Cherry-tomatoes, Broccoli, Kiwi and Apple Salad
Vegetable Curry Rice
Curry rice is usually a menu on “No Wine Day”, but today I topped it with plenty of grilled vegetables and paired it with red wine.
Today’s Wine
Nostrada Garnacha 2022 1,150 yen
What is the wine that goes well with curry?
Syrah? I was hesitant, but I tried the Spanish Garnacha that was in my cellar.
This is the right answer.
Nostrada Garnacha is from Campo de Borja, inland Spain. It is consignment production at a long-established winery called Bodegas Ruberte.
It is not a mass-produced wine, but a carefully prepared craft wine.
It has a smooth mouthfeel reminiscent of Pinot Noir, with a weight unique to wines from the interior of Spain, and it well received the strong flavor of curry.
It’s a wine like me that combines kindness and strength.
The next time you drink wine with curry, do the same.
