Muliple O's: Spring is here and we are in the season of renewal and optimism, well at least in the Southern Hemisphere we are. But winter weather lingers on. We still have a chance to enjoy those comfort foods, such as Osso Bucco, Oxtail, or Onion soup, just to mention the O's. You can find some recipes for these, and a few more delights at my revamped Albarino to Zinfandel website. All matched to appropriate Vinodiverse wines of course. If you haven't seen Albarino to Zinfandel yet you should do yourself a favour, it matches good recipes for good food with less common varietal wines, so check it out.
