We received this non-Chairman Selection Alvarinho as a gift. People, we don't want to be ungracious, but can we at least agree that if you're gonna shop PLCB, as the very least get the Chairman's Selections? (Philly Wine Rule #1).
That aside, this wine was more than good enough for Tuesday night. Unfortunately it had a unpleasant nose that was a cross between cat pee and something else unpleasant, which was kind of a downer. But overall it tasted decent, with a good dollop of lemon and bracing acidity.
The cook in the house says it's always a gamble to make a recipe from Parade Magazine, but this Campanelle Pasta Salad from Giada De Laurentiis (hot) is a keeper.
