Port & Tort

Got to spend the day with Raph yesterday and we had a grand time.  Whenever people in Vernon get bored, want to go out for dinner, need to be entertained in general they do the natural thing and drive the 40 minutes to Kelowna.  So Kelowna is where we ended up.  It had been quite a while since Raph had been wine tasting, and let’s face it it’d been a while for me to, so we spent some quality time running around to different wineries.  Returning from Kelowna we went to his Mother’s place and made an amazing meal of fresh pasta with a home made tomato and bacon sauce along with a Caesar salad.  The real star of the evening though was the perfect pairing of Port & Tort.  Raph had given me a beautiful bottle of Taylor Tawny Port which I more than happily shared with everyone.  All in all a fantastic evening.
