This afternoon, after work I'm going to make a batch of
Bagna Calda (1 and 1/2 cup garlic cloves baked with 2 oz anchovies, butter, and olive oil) When its done, I'm going to sit down outside with a loaf of bread, the garlic, maybe some bleu cheese, and a bottle of wine followed by a few pipefuls of stout tobacco. I'll listen to some music and gleefully anticipate the following 24 hours or so of solitude.
What kind of wine do the wine experts here suggest for this? I'm thinking Chianti maybe?
