It truly is a blizzard out there, but dinner was delicious & Matt picked out a beautiful Rioja to go with it.
Tonight, I made a Pork Roast in the slow cooker. I had a 4 1/2 pound pork roast with the bone in. I rubbed salt & pepper on the pork, then I added 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup Worcestershire Sauce and a can of Pepsi. Along with the pork, I made roasted red potatoes. On the potatoes I put olive oil, the Montreal Seasoning, Herbes de Provence, salt & pepper. Mix it all up, spread it out on a baking stone and put it in the oven at 450 for about 25 minutes. It really was the perfect dinner for our snowed-in evening.
Tonight we had paired this with a 2006 Vina Zaco Tempranillo Rioja. Rioja is a region of Spain. Tempranillo is the varietal. To start, this wine is a nice deep red color. It's got a medium body. On the nose, there's some strawberry and light vanilla and leather. I taste that same strawberry, and a little caramel? Maybe that's vanilla. Either way, mmm... mmm... it's good stuff. Nice choice, Honey :) Well, back to checking out the blizzard, and hoping for a state of emergency so I don't have to go to work tomorrow. Wish me luck!
In Vino Veritas.
