Polenta with friends

Eastside Road, Healdsburg, February 22, 2009

NOTHING UNUSUAL: Polenta with red sauce, the sauce made with the last of Paolo's sausage from last year; and, of course, a green salad.
Well, one unusual thing: we warmed up standing around the kitchen island nibbling on walnut bread spread with a fine white Stilton, and we finished with a tasty Murcott mandarin. And look at these wines:

Grenache blanc, Louis Preston, 2007; Petit Syrah, Louis Preston, 2006;
homemade kirsch; grappa
