Unreleased Wine and Skewered Swine
That was my birthday dinner, and my, it was a good one. The best friend marinated chunks of New York steak and pork in her special mix (all I can tell you is soy sauce), along with bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. A few minutes on the grill and a side of balsamic-dressed greens were all we needed to go along with the 2004 Thomas Fogarty Barbera. I insisted on a side of BBQ sauce for dipping to go along with the smokiness and bright red fruit of the wine. The glasses were full (for a while at least), the laughter was loud. And there was that special feeling in the air that comes from drinking wine not available to the public yet. Soon, though.

Hey Farley, I saw your picture in the Jackson Free Press and thought I’d check your blog out. Hope you’re doing well.
