Dinner with David Family

Last Friday I had the good fortune of attending an intimate dinner party hosted by the proprietor of David Family Wines, a boutique luxury Pinot Noir wine maker. And it must be said that this family knows good food and wine. David Family makes some of the most decadent and smoothest wines I've ever tasted.

So, there we were surrounded by good friends, good food and good wine. A riot could have broken out outside our door and we would have been well set for at least a few days of bliss.

David Family Wine is a treat. I ordinarily consider myself a food-splurger (one who can justify spending inordinate amounts on eating) and I tend to skimp on the wines. Some people might be appalled by that admission but you have to give in somewhere. But on the occasion when a really good wine is popped it shines a light on the elegance of that art and the people who appreciate it. DFW is decadent and worth every penny for the occasional wine splurge. It is one of the most enjoyable drinking experiences with notes of berry and oak; the wine drinks smoothly and has a light yet full finish. It paired well with the orange braised bison stew that we enjoyed but who am I kidding, I would drink it with ramen.

Oh yea, if you need more justification for the splurge--a portion of all the proceeds go towards Habitat for Humanity and each bottle comes with a hand-crafted leather label to save as a souvenir from your dinner with David Family.
