Lots of changes since my last post. Sadly I lost my father to cancer in June. It is the kind of experience that makes one appreciate life for it's simple pleasures. He definitely taught me to appreciate life and live it fully and fearlessly. A wonderful father and friend. He is dearly missed.
It is turning to winter here in the mountains, and my little garden is producing luscious tomatoes. What is a good combination for fresh tomatoes? Cheese, of course! Fresh mozzarella and basil with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar is a simple delight. And paired with it, a nice red, maybe a pinot noir or zinfandel, with the right amount of lightness and fruitiness, you can't go wrong. I recently have been taken with a Carmel Road Monterey Pinot Noir. It is very fruity but light and delicious. Try it!
Oh la la! Look at those tomatoes!
