A local restaurant was having another wine/food evening, so we decided to go:

Los Vinos: 1° Tiempo Ostato Crianza 2008, Rioja España 2° Tiempo Vega Real Crianza 2006, Ribera del Duero 3° Tiempo Quinta Monasterio, Tempranillo 2009, Valle de Guadalupe, México El Menú: 1° Tiempo Pulpo a la Gallega papa, paprika, ajo, chorizo y perejil 2° Tiempo Salchicha de Borrego hongos, mostaza, queso de oveja, almendras y tomillo 3° Tiempo Lomo de Cerdo puré de camote, tocino hecho en casa, miel maple y malvavisco

The restaurant is a family affair, a young couple and the woman's mother.  Here are two of them; the chef is in the kitchen:

El sr J and I and Mary Lou were the English speakers speaking Spanish.  There were five Mexicans in attendance.  We sat across from Monica and Lupita, who study anthropology at the local university:

I got so hungry listening to the lecture on wine that I forgot to take a photo of the squid, the first course.  Here's the second course, homemade sheep sausage with mushrooms, cheese, almonds and thyme:

And the third course, pork loin, camote (think sweet potato) and homemade bacon:

Good company, good food, good wine:
