Deri Coch Red Wine 2022

A light bodied Red with a lovely ruby colour, aromas of cherries and blackcurrant, these aromas also dominate the palate. A rare product in Wales' cool climate, the red grapes need a much longer summer season than we normally get here in Wales to ripen fully.Serving suggestion: Salmon or other...

It was this one and surprisingly had some real flavour - it was a 2022 one though not 2020 as pictured - we had a warmer year then and Abergavenny is in Wales but borders Herefordshire.

Also had a glass of a lovely red Welsh wine - it was a present and from a vinery in Abergavenny called sugar loaf vineyards and was very tasty.

Breakfast was zucchini bread with butter, early to play pickleball at 7:30 am
Lunch…I’m beginning to think I missed lunch which explains the picking at cheese, nuts and almond butter while gardening this afternoon.
Dinner will be more zucchini, grilled this time in place of the pasta for spaghetti bolognaise.

Third and last day of my green beans and oven baked pork belly dish, again with a mini egg from our hens.

Colour and flavour from onion, bell pepper, and a (store bought) black bean and garlic sauce. Not low carb but a very strong flavour so only a little needed.

That egg looks lovely. And I love black bean and garlic sauce.

We often enjoy spiralised zucchini in place of pasta @MommaE. Here in the UK, they're called courgetti, as a rule.
