Very good/fairly easy meals

A few easily prepared, yet stellar-tasting meals I've had over the past week (with wine recommendations, of course).  Food blogs are wondrous things...

• From Kate @ Accidental Hedonist:  Saltimbocca
  • Wine pairing:  Quinta do Carmo Reserva, Alentejo, '01 ($30); Portugal

• From Barrett @ Too Many Chefs:  Scallop Chowder
  • Wine pairing:  Aveleda Vinho Verde, ($8); Portugal

• From Epicurious:  Chicken Curry w/Cashews
  • Wine pairing:  Bouvet Rose Excellence, ($15); France

Nice pairing. I've heard of Portuguese "green" wines, but I've never tried one. I'll seek it out when I make another batch of chowder.

Glad you liked the recipe!

Vinho Verde is a versatile little wine - young, crisp and spritzy. I used it in the chowder recipe as well and liked the result.

Cheers,

Beau
