Slovakian Wine!!

Melba's Jammin said:

For my birthday, I was given half a case of a Slovakian riesling --
who knew such a thing existed!! We'll crack a bottle tonight to go
with this odd mix for supper:
Tilapia
Chicken breast
Chicken thighs
Carrots
Parsley-buttered new potatoes
Wilted lettuce/spinach salad

It's good to be us.

Happy Belated birthday, Barb! I haven't been home much until yesterday
afternoon and missed my window for offering congrats!

The dinner sounds like a winner and I hope the wine is all it's cracked up
to be 🙂

Jill, You are still three days early. Now you have to send Barbara
more greetings on Saturday :o)

G-d bless freezers. I had come home later yesterday, having been to a
Trade Show, which means eight hours straight on your feet. For last
night I had some left over chicken with potato salad and cole slaw,
Marcel also had chicken noodle soup and apple pie.

I went back today for the second day of the Trade Show, but had no
intention of serving dinner to Marcel. Another eight hours or so on
my feet and I was looking forward to just relaxing with a drink or
two, without I thought of dinner. I walked into my apartment, to find
a very hungry Marcel in the den. I had forgotten to tell him that the
restaurant was closed. :o(

I was looking high and low and found....a whole big lot of spaghetti
and meat balls in the freezer! There was soup left over from last
night and there was Linzer Torte in the freezer too.

All's Well That Ends Well. :o)

Tomorrow is the last day of the show, I will go there again and I will
definitely not serve anything for dinner, come Hell or High Water or
Marcel.

So, did you taste the wine and how was it? Terrific, I bet and from
now on you will try to track down the same kind, which will not be easy.

I will wait until Saturday to mention your Birthday. :o)

I can empathize. We spent *hours* walking around the zoo on Monday. It was
hot and by the end of the afternoon our knees were worn plumb out. We had a
good time anyway. Saw lots of BIG kitty cats 🙂

Monday night was the never-arrived pizza order so I made an omelet for us
and bacon and toast.

For last

You are a good friend to go ahead and prepare something for both of you even
though you didn't feel like it.

LOL Okay...

Dinner tonight is probably going to be a veggie stir fry. Zucchini,
broccoli, garlic, onion, maybe some corn. Nothing fancy.

You're so funny, Margaret! Must really be great to be Barb since she's
getting all the congrats *and* gifts days ahead of the actual day!

I'm betting Surdyk's in Minneapolis could order that wine if she likes it.

It's amazing how many countries there are that make wine... and ship it to
the USA. I've had wine from 29 different countries plus the USA. Strangely
enough, Slovakia is not on the list on countries I've tried, but that might
just be an oversight. I have had wine from Slovenia, though. My most recent
additions to the list were Mexico, Brazil, and Georgia (former USSR).

Thanks for the tip. I found references to it on the internet... whether I
see it in any local stores might be another story, though the importer is
one I recognize on many other wines I've purchased.

I enjoyed it very much, and will enjoy it again. And again. And again.
And again. And once again. :-)
