As I continue to play catch up here, let's rewind back to this weekend for Sunday's post. Wouldn't that be fantastic if that was an actual action you could take like the buttons on your TV remote? How would you ever get anything done work wise though if that was the case?
Moving out of fantasy land and back into reality, lets get back to the lovely little local wine bar I went to this past weekend in Dennis Village, Mass, on Cape Cod. Known as the Harvest Gallery, this gem of a spot showcases art by local and regional artists -- both visual and musical. While we were there, a jazz pianist was playing some mid-20th century greats for his audience to enjoy. Harvest offers regional beers and a good wine list with a mixture of New and Old World wines along with some small plates, cheeses, cured meats, sandwiches and salads. The really nice thing about Harvest is that they always have a chalk board with wines "on sale," meaning that they are running low on them and they are offer them at a discounted price. For example, we had a nice simple yet solid French Rose for $25, now how often do you find a bottle of wine priced at that amount in a wine bar?
With our bottle of Rose, we split some local oysters and a housemade ricotta with honey, marcona almonds and some fresh basil shaved on top. The ricotta was served with "bread chips," really thin pieces of bread that have been toasted in the oven to get them all crispy and crumbly. The ricotta was delish and flavorful -- creamy and milky and everything a ricotta should be. The bread crisps or chips were delish on their own but hard to actually eat the ricotta with. The brightness of the wine really worked wonders with the melt in your mouth qualities of the wine.
