Does it get better? Really. Does it? My brother came over yesterday for dinner, with the goal of trying a bottle he’d purchased to enjoy together. So I started myself a little fire with wood from the ravine. Added a good whack of hardwood charcoal. And when ready, rotisseried beef shoulder, and pork shoulder chunks on a spit for a few hours. All this to pair with a nice bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape [Rhone, France]. The food was ‘wow’, and the wine was ‘wow’. Add good company, and the evening = ‘Wow’. My tasting notes are online.
