I had a 2005 magnum of really lovely Pinot Noir burning a hole in my wine cellar. So I invited some friends over for dinner. The wine is from an Oregon winery owned by a French family, so a menu of recipes from American Dorie Greenspan’s Around My French Table seemed fitting. I made the chard-stuffed pork loin, but brined the pork, which she doesn’t call for. The pommes dauphinoise were a huge hit and the broccoli did the job. The wine, my last bottle from my favorite Oregon vintage, was delicious. It’s an extra special bottle as it was signed by the winemaker and her three brothers who were all at the winery for a special dinner many years ago.
I didn’t think to take a picture until I’d had a few bites, clearly!
