Vino of the Week:
92 Points - Robert Parker (Wine Advocate)
"The 2004 Grenache Prodigal possesses a dark ruby color as well as classic kirsch and licorice notes with a background resiny/earthy character. Full-bodied, supple, and deep, this mouthfilling wine should be drunk over the next 5-6 years."

Yummage:
Purchase 4 fresh artichokes, cut off the bottom stem and top 1/2 of each. Set these aside. Steam or boil for 40-45 minutes in water laced with either liquid, powder or herb based shrimp boil (either Zatarain's or Louisiane's is best). Optional (but recommended): quarter and squeeze juice of one lime or lemon into boiling/steaming water. Purchase one bottle of Salsa Ranch dressing (HEB's is fine), for dipping of artichoke leaf sections. When steam/boiling is complete, use teaspoon to scoop out fuzzy inner stuff from center of artichokes. Peel away leaf sections and use ranch dressing as dip. Great as appetizer or as a side, veggie dish.
