December 27,
2014 Dinner at Cynthia and Ricardo’s
Baked Mushroom and Spinach Lasagna
Willy, Luke,
Suzette and I took a bottle of Argyle champagne and a bottle of Acrobat Rosé of
Pinot Noir (Jubilation $13.99), both from the Oregon’s Willamette Valley to
Cynthia and Ricardo’s at around 1:00 today.
When we
arrived there were appetizers in the kitchen of olives, an aged gouda and a
stilton with water biscuits and artichoke hearts. We toasted the holiday season by drinking
glasses of Argyle Champagne while the lasagna was baking and Cynthia made a
lovely salad. Then we retired to dining
room table for dinner of lasagna and salad and fresh warm Bosque Bakery
baguette, which we drank with Acrobat Rosé and Cupcake Merlot. The
lasagna was made with a rich, cheesy alfredo sauce that was delicious.
We had a
lovely conversation that essentially lasted 3 hours over appetizers, dinner and
dessert of Christmas cookies and handmade local chocolates with ginger tea.
A more happy
dinner could not have been had than the one we shared in their dining room drenched
in late afternoon sun light.
I liked both
wines and actually was surprised by how good the champagne was. Perhaps that is why they serve Argyle champagne
at the White House.
Bon Appétit
