Reasonably priced, nicely painted and cheesily named, this Mendoza raised wine is the Malbec the Dude of Food used as my standard to compare the other wines.

Grapey, but not overly. OK. Not sweet. Kind of flat. Short tongue life. On the heavy side ala a Cabernet Sauvignon.

Easy Lasagna Recipe by the Dude of Food

One of histories oldest dishes, that many folks refer to as Italian food, is actually from Greece. Early layered pasta creations existed in ancient Greece and were mentioned as early as 146 B.C. Later, in the Naples region of Italy, this dish became a staple and grew in popularity becoming what we now know as lasagna. Motto bene.

Come share the secrets of easily creating a delicious lasagna as the Dude of Food prepares lasagna before your eyes.

Dude of Food Port Wine Recommendation

The dude of food has obtained a bottle of 10 year old tawny port from Trader Joe’s. The producer is Quarles Harris, established 1680, in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. This beauty of a port wine was roughly $12. but tastes like a fine, expensive bottle. This port boasts a light and fruity but not too sweet flavor that follows through nicely.

It is a great after dinner sipper and also goes great with chocolate. Let out your inner man and WOW your lady tonight with this fine selection.
