Ruffino Wines, Italy
The Entree course was Braciola di Agnello a la Griglia - grilled lamb chop, smashed baby potatoes, tuscan black kale. The lamb was perfectly cooked and the smashed potatoes were kinda plain and uninspired. Both were improved magnitudes with a little seasoning, something that should have been done in the kitchen before serving. The kale, while tasty, was a bit tough as the midrib was still attached.
Paired with a Brunello, Greppone Mazzi, produced with Sangiovese grapes in the vineyards surrounding the town of Montalcino located about 80 km south of Florence. Today Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy's best-known and most expensive wines. This wine ages well, unlike the fresher wines earlier in the evening.
