Tonight there shall be a "Cooking with Rachy Show lol " I decided to make some Chicken Tetrazzini tonight. It calls for 2 Table spoons of wine. Who just buys a small bottle, So I decided to with a bottle of 2011 Central Coast Cupcake Vineyards Petite Sirah . Oh I better be sure to reserve that 2 Tablespoons I need for this delish recipe I am about to share with all of you. To my lovies up in Ny You all know I love to cook and have my dinner parties. I feel lost down here not being able to do that here. Ok well any ways, about to pour myself a glass of this Sirah. The aroma is amazing flavors of dark cherry blackberry bitter-sweet espresso aged in oak barrles that tastes like eating a dark chocolate cupcake.
Takes a few sips oh yes..... I highly recommend you all go buy your selves a few bottles. Amanda Schwendy I think you would really like it. It also tastes really good with some russell stovers premium assortment of milk and dark chocolate.
