Lobster Risotto & Caprese Salad

So I finally got to cook a meal at home - just been working too much to do it lately. Our good friend came over and brought fixings for the caprese salad. The angelo & franco mozzarella (ciliegine with cream) cheese blew my mind!!! We opened a bottle of 2006 Domaine de la Charbonniere Vacqueyras. OH MY - very likely some of the best wine I've had. (Thanks Accidental Wine!) I found this description and it's perfect: "Dark purple. Smoky blackberry, kirsch and licorice on the seductively aromatic nose. Deep and sweet on the palate, offering well-delineated dark fruit liqueur flavors, chewy tannins and a bright jolt of cracked pepper." (Josh Raynolds)


We sipped on this while I made the lobster risotto. 


It was a damn fine evening.
