Or something like that ... but last night was the combined Cinco de Mayo (held on the tres) and a sort of going away party for us.
Lots of people came by and lots of alcohol was consumed:
Three Alarm Cellars California Red Wine
$3.99 from Grocery Outlet. Came out of the bottle like a can of whup-ass ... but after being open for a while drank nicely. Certainly worth $4 ... even though a trip to Grocery Outlet on a Saturday morning is not a fun experience.
Licia Albarino 2006 Rias Baixas
So when I invited Chris and Michelle to the party we were sort of joking around and I challenged him to pair something with tortillas and salsa. He oneupped me by bringing shrimp ceviche and this gorgeous white from Galicia. Tight with minerals and lemon ... a superb wine and perfectly paired with almost everything last night.
Here's a photo of Stella which is so absolutely precious I had no choice but to steal it from www.mountainlovers.blogspot.com:
