Clean out the Refrigerator

Sorry, no food porn pictures, we just had leftovers tonight but I have to comment on the wine.  We had a Valserrano Reserva from Spain which was a Tempernillo that was fantastic.  Our dinner included anything that would help clean out the refrigerator.  It consisted of leftover Tilapia, left over Brianna, and Broccoli along with tomatoes.  I would have thought any wine would have a difficult time tying this all together but the Valserrano did a fine job.  We purchased the wine from Total Wine for $20 as it was an Alfio Moriconi Selection.  I believe that this man has the best job in the world … he goes to wineries in Spain and Italy and picks which wines to recommend to Total Wine.  I probably would resent him even more if he didn’t seem to get it right most of the time.  The complexity of the wine was fantastic with hints of stewed fruit and spices.  This was truly a special wine and we enjoyed this dinner and were also able to clean out the refrigerator so by my account it was a success.  By the way, the wine also paired well with chocolate!
