Spanish Dinner with the Wine Group

On Saturday the 19th, our Wine Group had a Spanish dinner hosted by Courtenay & Phil Havers. It was a great night full of amazing food, delicious wines, and great friends.

The courses: Avocado & Shrimp in phyllo from Marquell, Black Bean Soup from Amy, Paella from Sara, palate cleansers, Roasted Pork with cherries, apricots, & onions from Courtenay, a cheese course of with Manchego cheeses and quince paste, and I made dessert: chocolate cappuccino cake & homemade ice cream.

The only downside was the stomach bug that was making people drop like flies (it wasn't our cooking, I swear!) Dave went home about 1/2 hour into the night, followed by Amy about an hour later. Marquell was next to get sick later in the evening, and Courtenay got it the next day. At last report, everyone was feeling better. We can't wait to do it again (the dinner and wine, not the barfing!!)
