Les Trois Petits Cochons  - Paté au Poivre Noir
 
One of the many benefits of retirement is that we can enjoy more happy hours without the worry of evening calls and appointments and can go out for early dinners to beat the crowds at our favorite restaurants.
For one of our happy hours at home we had Les Trois Petits Cochons (three little pigs) Paté au Poivre Noir, (pork and chicken liver paté with black peppercorns and topped with aspic), some Alouette brie cheese and a plate of toasted artisan baguettes. 
The wine was Black Box California chardonnay. Did I mention that life is good!

Happy Hour Wine: Panilonco Colchagua Valley Reserve Carmenere 2013
 
Panilonco Colchagua Valley Reserve Carmenere 2013 from Chile is an inexpensive red wine that we found at a Trader Joe's store in Williamsburg, Virginia. You may wish to try this wine on its own or with Italian cuisine or spicy courses. I think you will agree that this is a bargain.
