Home Away From Home

As we used our last energy to drag dinner to the table, wine was in order. A hug after we put C to bed gave us strength to have a dinner for 2 before we surrendered to a day of early rise (for me), playdates, yoga, more playdates and an end of day with a restless toddler.  We have a wine subscription which sends us random wines which has helped us discover a few new good wines (and others not so good). I rejected south african as we will spend 5 days in South Africa next week so we were goong for zaustralian, as we are not going there anytime soon. Suddenly we see a Portuguese wine in the mix and easily decided to give it a try. Valoroso was a top choice for dinner. Unexpectedly from the Setubal region, as I would not have willingly ordered it deom a wine menu. Full body and flavoured but surprisingly not too strong. Or so I thought as it boasts a 14.5% volume label hidden in back. No wonder I am getting so numb. Yoga and now this...  It was an excellent companion to our lamb ...
