For dinner on Wednesday April 9th my friends and I decided to go to the Palisades for the first time! Luck for me it was Italy night, and I got to eat foods and drink wines that were familiar to me.
The three wines pictured on the left:
La Carraia Orvieto Classico (2013)
Tiamo Chianti (2013)
Bonaventura Rosso Toscano (2009)
The foods we tried were:
Potato Gnochhi
Braised Chicken
Taste of Italy Pizza
My notes from the dinner:
La Carria Orvieto Classico -
I tasted a lot of pear in the wine and before I even read in the description that there was apple was surprised how much of the apple I could taste! I enjoyed that the wine was not too sweet. I found that the wine paired perfectly with any of the foods on the table because of how light it was. I particularly enjoyed it with the Gnochhi.
Tiamo Chianti -
This Chianti tasted incredibly oaky. The color was lighter than I thought a Chiani normally would be. It also kind of tasted like a bonfire. I thought this wine was my favorite of the three and that it paired perfectly with each of the entrees!
Bonaventura Rosso Toscano -
This wine was my least favorite of the bunch. I thought that it was a little too strong for my taste, but interesting that I could taste so much of the licorice coming through. Since I didn't like it I tried not to drink as much but interestingly enough I thought that the strong taste paired well with the pizza.
