Thanks for the introduction and overview. Your pairings look great (especially the squid ink dish...I love em!). I'm a big Sherry and Madeira fan, so I think I'd enjoy Marsala too!Martin Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236488894197388520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918816225349060104.post-2847694315995600862019-04-07T13:10:47.449-07:002019-04-07T13:10:47.449-07:00Glad you are going to explore other food pairings!...Glad you are going to explore other food pairings!
