This means you > > need to refrigerate your wines 2-3 hours or put them in an ice bucket for > > 15-20 minutes (hint: to preserve your labels, put the bottle into a plastic > > bag, then into the ice bucket). Or take your whites out of the frig > > approximately 1.5 hours before if you store them there. > > FOOD PAIRING: Ruth Ann had the insight to ask about appetizers to make at > > home. My suggestion #1: cheese board with crackers, nuts, crudités, brie, > > Gruyère and sharp cheddar. Suggestion #2 for hot appetizers that won't > > take too much time: Whole shrimp in puff pastry (I can send a recipe), puff > > pastry mini-rounds with melted Gruyère and either caramelized onion or > > spinach, lamb meatballs in marinara. > > MATT'S COMMENTARY on my suggestions: "Vermentino is good with any type of > > seafood, just nothing creamy. Ceviche would be my choice but shrimp works. > > Grenache Rose' is crisp, light and fruit forward. Anything along those > > lines works well. A designer cheese with very light crackers, heirloom > > tomatoes, just nothing heavy. A creative salad of watercress and > > strawberries! You cannot go wrong with meatballs in my opinion. Both the > > Zin and Syrah contain notes of spice, pepper and jam. Any style of meatball > > would work great it's the sauce to match that would make it!" > > Detail #2: > > ZOOM: > > — Join Zoom Meeting: > > https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87093150960?pwd=cjh4Sy9KYThTeFRQT2lIdFdJQzVOdz09 > > Meeting ID: 870 9315 0960 > > Password: 517337 > > — When you log on, you'll be in the Waiting Room and when I see your name, > > I'll let you in.
