    Tried it? I haven’t heard of it! But it sounds right up my alley. I love a nice clean tasting white in the summertime, and I’ve been digging spain in a major way.

    And, of course, in for the 29th, definitely. North Jersey, no excuses!

    Xerel-lo, as a matter of fact my wife and I drank a case last summer. There is a little wine shop near our condo that sells unusual wines. I was walking by and the guy who works there told me I had to try it. The one I had was a Basque wine. I figured what the heck they sure as hell know how to cook so they must drink good wines. We loved it and went back and bought the rest of the case. The one we had showed a little sweetness, but not too much with some great flavors. And oh my, did it go great with Spanish food!

  • hey gary –

    never had a Xarel-Lo before, will be ordering some to give it a try.

    should be there on 3/29 with the rest of the Latuchie family. 3-4 of us total I think. not sure if we’ll do the restaurant after 3pm, may just head back to Edison for some bagels and lox (the Latuchie favorite).
