Plato cooked a meal of caprese salad, risotto and veal with blueberry sauce for our usual dinner group on Tuesday September 16, 2008.
Caprese- just tomatoes mozzarella olive oil and salt and basil.
Risotto excellent citrusy flavors.
Plato, ian, diana, ben and alissa were all in attendance
I also reviewed the wines that we tasted that night… I basically just compared them against each other.‚ Click read more if you are interested to see what I thought of them.‚ Might be boring though.

Good point. Forgot.
