Organic grown potatoes sautéed in butter with onion, garlic and bacon. This is one of if not the favorite potato dish of all time!

2008 Carl Roy Cabernet Sauvignon East Side Cuvee "Deep purple color. Dark, honed, ripe cassis aromas. Superb concentration at the core with fine layers of cassis and crushed red fruit perfectly offset by excellent ripe tannin persistence. Drink now -- if you can't wait -- but make sure the wine spends a couple hours in a carafe before serving. We spent three days with this. It barely budged!"

Bright and vibrant on the attack, with a deep — at first — unyielding core of green apple. Firm, sturdy, chiseled on the finish. 2 hours later: Opening, showing off [...]
