Black Orpheus

Pierce and Via had an end of summer barbecue. We brought banana cream pie and they met Hilary. I ate hotdogs with Serbian red pepper sauce.

For most yucatecan dishes, I would recommend the Muga reserva 2007. It’s a classic Rioja with the aroma of sawdust, leather and dill. The taste is juicy cranberries, pomegranates, black currants with a little vanilla sweetness from oak, and a dry peppery finish. Perfect for any meat rubbed with achiote- an earthy blend of annato seeds and spice.
