Wine: 2008 Château d'Aqueria Tavel Rosé

February 14, 2011 new recipe

Valentine's Day! We both had to work, so this was a simpler dinner. Carl made Spanish Rice, which he has made many times before. He used the Peanut Mole we had left from the quail awhile back and prepared boneless chicken thighs in it. It is still a fabulous mole! The new dish was tostadas with the Bacon-Tomato Guacamole recipe from Rick Bayless' Fiesta at Ricks.

The wine was Este from Bodegas Alta Amazora 2007. It is a deep red fruity wine, without a lot of tannins--nice match with the rich spiciness of these dishes.
