| OK. I give up.Â
As much as I enjoy lightly sauteed spinach, I'm convinced you can never drink any red wine with it no matter what else is on the plate.
There is something about spinach and the tannins in red wine that combines to overwhelm me with a taste of alum in the mouth. This is the second time in two weeks that a good bottle of wine has been rendered unpleasurable (hey, I've got my priorities straight - a great bottle of wine vs. a bag of spinach - I'll get rid of the spinach, thank you very much).
From now on, it's uncooked spinach or spinach and no wine. | | | |

Fresh Halibut with garlic/anchovie butter. Wife really raved! What did you pay for fresh halibut, if you don't mind my asking¿ (currently in Mexico, so excuse the punctuation!) It was from the infamous Bryan Flannery and IIRC it was around $25 a pound. Sounds high, especially if you live in Alaska, but it was worth every penny. It shipped to me the same day it was caught. | | | |
