Beaujolais Update

I tasted a 2009 Beaujolais Domaine Dupeuble Pere et Fils.$11.99  It was very good; fruity. This is a small grower. Looks like the hype over the 2009 Beaujolais wine may be warranted. No need to look for this specific wine, try any 2009 Beaujolais, Beaujolais Villages or one of the many villages that are part of Beaujolais such as Moulin a Vent, Morgon, Regnie, etc.

Quick recipe. Center cut pork chops -- bone-in. Whole Foods has great pork chops. Salt and pepper the chops to taste. Sear the chops in a frying pan using olive oil to coat the pan. In a separate pan gently toast some bread crumbs mixed with olive oil and dry sage. Place the seared chops in an aluminum baking dish and place some of the bread curmbs on top of the chops. Bake in a 375 degree pre-heated oven for 10 -15 minutes depending on the thickness of the chops. Check for doneness by cutting into the meat near the bone. Let the chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Great stuff.
