Here is a wine pairing.
Here is a wine pairing from the chart posted previously in the blog
Bordeaux Wine Information
The region of Bordeaux, France is largest region of wine growing in the world. Bordeaux is made up of five main districts - Medoc, St. Emilion, Pomerol, Graves, and Sauternes. While Medoc and the entire region are best known for their reds ("Clarets"), white wines also have their place. Graves creates dry whites, and Sauternes is known for its sweet whites.
When people just say "bordeaux wine", they typically mean the classic red blend. The red Bordeaux are created with Cabernet Sauvignon, often blended with Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The color tends to be a garnet/ruby shade. The flavor is typically a light one, with blackberry, black fruits, wood, and other notes. A classic Bordeaux is said to have a "cigar box" aroma to it.
Graves, the dry whites, are made by blending mostly Sauvignon Blanc with a small amount of Sauvignon Gris. Sauternes, the sweeter whites, are made with Sémillon, Sauvignon and a drop of Muscadelle.
There are many levels of quality of wine grown in Bordeaux, so for the 1855 Exposition Universelle de Paris (sort of like a World Fair) Napoléon III asked a panel to break the region's wines down by price (therefore, hopefully, quality as well). These classifications of 1855 were never meant to be an official quality roster.
The classifications were grouped by region within Bordeaux, and remain mostly unchanged even today.
Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River and Garonne River. To the west, or "left bank", contains the capital city of Bordeaux. The Left Bank is the more well known of the two banks. It contains Medoc, Graves, Margaux, Pauillac, and Pessac-Léognan.
To the east, or "right bank", is Pomerol and St-Émilion. In the middle of the two is the Entre-Duex-Mers (between two seas) area.
So a Cab/Merlot blend would be good.

Ideas for next friday
Paula had a great idea for friday and that was having breakfast for dinner. I had a few ideas and I will post them here.
Here is a yummy looking omelet but the ingredient may be a bit too spendy.
Or maybe this as a base omelet then we could have an omelet bar!
with lotsa different fillings
This might work better with an omelete bar so evryone could eat at the same time
check it out looks like fun.
I was also thinking of crepes' for desert
Then there are all the other things for breakfast like french toast,pancakes, hashbrowns (high carb), biscuts and gravy (yummy)
anybody have other ideas?

Another great dinner
Thanks all for another awesome dinner. The Shepherd's Pie was really tasty.
I was slightly hung over the next morning, so sorry I didn't make it to the next event!! I think I need to not stay so late at the dance next time. Whoa.
I'll bring another Basil Hayden's for next time cuz I put another dent in it.

Bar2D2
Hey Brian, check this out!!
Mobile Bar - BaR2D2 - Watch more Free Videos
Jamie Price writes with a nice tutorial on putting technology to use in the service of mankind, with one of his latest projects — BaR2D2.
"BaR2D2 is a radio-controlled, mobile bar that features a motorized beer elevator, motorized ice/mixer drawer, six-bottle shot dispenser, and sound activated neon lighting. The robot is driveable so you can take the party on the road! It was created in my garage using standard hand/power tools and readily available parts and materials. Here is a video of it in action. To see the full how-to with tons of pictures, check out the build.

Wine and Food Pairing Charts
Wine and Food Pairing Charts: "Wine & Food Pairings
Wine and Food pairings is an individual choice. Every person's sense of taste is different. In general, each person should decide for him or herself what combinations of wine and food taste good - don't worry about what anyone else says should work. However, I understand this is difficult when a wine drinker is just starting out. Hence, this listing.
Remember - these are only guidelines!! You will figure out quite quickly that your own tongue has its own idea of what goes well with what. Trust your own judgement, and eat and drink what you enjoy!"
