I hope you like it, we did. It was fun to cook.
The wine choice for the evening was a Kim Crawford 2006 Marlborough, Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. A slightly sweet and herbacous wine with peach and grapefruit aroma and taste. The wine went well with the lime and citrus flavors of the meal. Their weren’t any flavors in the meal that were overwhelming. I love this wine and I enjoyed it very much with the meal.
