I’ve just come back from an amazing week in Corralejo, a small town located on the northern side of Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands.
Stef and I decided months ago to go there for a week, not on vacation: we planned to go on with our classic routines—work, workout, etc.—while also enjoying beaches, nice bars and coffee shops on the waterfront, and a warm, sunny weather. Sounds great, right?
Pleasant white wine, a bit on the sweet side, perfect to pair the unforgettable seafood dinner I had at Maria Catita, Lisbon.
Quinta de Val da Figueira extra dry white, Pacheca L.B.V. and Quinta de Val da Figueira 10yo, respectively paired with crackers with olive pate, cheese with peri-peri sauce, and salted almonds.
Zizzi’s Nero D’Avola. Paired with their Rustica Piccante pizza (pepperoni, spicy nduja sausage, salami, hot roquito chillies, mushrooms, mozzarella, rocket & mascarpone), great match!
Classic Sicilian red wine, available in every Franco Manca (a popular authentic pizza chain in the South East of England). Organic and unfiltered. Pairs exceptionally with meaty pizzas!
