Great timing for some self development activities, so I have been working on my “sarma” making skills and pairing with different wines to complement it👩🏻🍳
This time, I’ve used a different recipe and it has a traditional and rich filling, with rice, onions, parsley, spices, pine nuts and corinth raisins in it. (My classic recipe is already on my blog, in food section.) 🍷I paired my sarma with Sauvignon Blanc from Cloudy Bay, this wine had very intense aromas of tropical and citrus fruits. The high acidity and intense flavors on the palate completed very well this particular dish.
Cheers 🥂 •

And here comes Zinfandel... This is a variety that I’ve met in Napa, and it was definitely not the easiest variety to work with in the vineyard, with its thin skin and juicy berries which do not show a collective effort when it comes to ripening. Special handling, love and effort are needed until it arrives to the winery. Zinfandel is not happy if it’s hung in the vineyard so long under the California sun, otherwise you’ll be fermenting lots of raisins. With increasing necessity to avoid raisining and higher alcohol values, Zinfandel gets harvested earlier and earlier, but the hebaceous aromas are the side effects. Knowing the hard work behind, I really appreciate Zinfandel producers and enjoy what California sun offers me at its best. Cheers! •

Next on the line is the Argentinian Malbec! Malkina 2018 from Trapiche winery. It had a nice ruby color, dominated by ripe red fruit aromas with a touch of cocoa, and a smooth palate which suggests the second glass🍷
Interesting back label (see from #malkina hashtag) is letting us know that the wine will not notice or care even if we are not well dressed or not wearing a lipstick... It really got me thinking. Not that I ever felt judged by a wine, but it’s true that I would like to be nicely dressed for enjoying a good quality wine, it’s like a ritual. But then I remembered the Cheval Blanc being enjoyed in the fast food restaurant in Sideways movie😂 At the end of the day, the most important is if you like the wine or not, and how you will feel when you enjoy it. I agree with you back label☺️ Cheers🍷
