2020 Christmas Wine
Remembering the last year of having suffered so much and hoping the next year to be better, my friend and I appreciated two bottles of gracious wine on Christmas day. Hermitage (Syrah) Pernand-Vergelesses (Chardonnay)
Poulet rôti with country chicken
I had poulet rôti with the chicken from the countryside. Started to share it with four people, then two more people joined. It was only one chicken but sufficient to enjoy fully for six people.
