I stopped by a liquor store on my way home from running errands on Thursday. I chose a Spanish wine with a screw top called Castano Monastrell Yecla 2007 ($10.99). At first sip, the wine has a bold flavor and spice. There are definite blueberry and blackberry aromas in this dark purple wine. I'm nursing it slowly. It went well with dinner I cooked for my girlfriend this evening - angel hair pasta with tomato sauce and grated Parmesan cheese; arugula salad with herb goat cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and half a squeezed lemon, topped with fresh pepper and salt. Oh, and Crumbs cupcakes for dessert. Talk about a lovely Friday evening dinner date ;)
