One night after work I stopped at Wegmans and picked myself up a prepared to go meal. They have really great options for the nights when you need something quick and healthy. I chose salmon topped with pesto and paired it with a Rose sample from my Monsieur Touton salesman. I tend to lean towards Rose from Provence because of its crisp, dry and fresh flavor profile.
MiMi en Provence, Grande Reserve Rose 2014 is made from the same juice as Whispering Angel (hot Rose of the moment) but for half the cost! It is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, which gives it a pale pink color. Strawberries, white peach and rose petal give this wine a wonderful aroma and crisp taste. It paired great with my salmon and I can imagine it going well with any seafood dish.
Also I cannot forget to mention the Ornellaia Extra Virgin Olive Oil pictured above. It is absolutely AMAZING! Ornellaia's oil is a product of olives pressed from about 2,000 trees that grow on the grounds of the winery. Many of the trees are over 100 years old, which is no surprise since the Ornellaia Esate was created in 1981.
My knowledge of oil olive is miniscule, but I do know how exceptional Ornellaia's wine portfolio is and they did not skimp when it came to their oil. I highly recommend this Tuscan extra virgin olive oil if you are ever looking for a present for the ultimate foodie in your life.
For the 4th I made devil food cupcakes topped with strawberries and blueberries to create a dessert American Flag! Hope your 4th consisted of great company and food!
