Wow what a smash hit!!! Beautiful execution of the paella Dave, you are now an officially indoctrinated Honorary Spaniard! What a wonderful setting you put on, lovely dishes, glasses, etcetera and the paella on the table was just magazine perfect. Bravo! 
Well now that we have a paella triumvirate going on, I think it's my turn to make one, maybe. Sure glad you guys took the plunge and gave it a shot, it's truly one of Europe's better contributions to the culinary world. As you have discovered, it is truly "all good" no matter how you make it, and by the looks of it everyone enjoyed your feast. ------------- |

Almost forgot to give everyone a rundown on the wines we had at the party the other night.  I rather liked the Rioja on the right for it's spiciness. A few of the folks preferred the other as it seemed to be just a bit drier. Both were Spanish wines of course, and will more than likely be purchased again in the future. ------------- Go ahead...play with your food! |

Exceptionally extraordinary Paella ! Of course, my suggestion is to use a CAZUELA, earthenware of approx. 114 centimeters circular with 8 centimeter depth as I do .. Of course, this size may be hard to come by in North America .. However, it is worth the investment as it is also wonderful for Risotto and most "group" specialties and they work on stove top, oven and surely the Grill too .. The Wines: Campo Viejo - Crianza 2006, oak aged 100% Tempranillo Grape Red is a winery that has been producing for over 100 years approx. The Viña Alarba, Granacha Grape ( or Grenache as called in English and French ), I have never seen before and cannot see the Designation of Origin .. MAY I SUGGEST, SOME EXCELLENT REDS FROM SPAIN : 1) Emilio Moro Bodegas - Ribera del Duero 2) Marques de Murrieta - La Rioja 3) Bodega Muga - La Rioja 4) Red Wine: Estola - Bodega Ayuso in Albacete, Castilla La Mancha - Many Spaniards do not like to purchase as it is produced in Castilla La Mancha, however, I have had uncountable wines living in Spain, Italy and France and Greece and it is exceptionally amazing. It is a varietal of black and deep cherry hued grapes and has a noble nose .. IT IS EXPORTED AND RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE. If lucky, you may find a few Reservas in a Latin Grocer too ! ------------- Volamos a Mediterraneo, un paraiso que conquista su gente u su cocina. |

Thank you for the suggestion Margi....as it turns out I have a Portuguese owned supermarket right down the street and have casuelas available anytime, however it won't be necessary as I now own a much larger paellera as well. ------------- Go ahead...play with your food! |

Great, Hoser .. I am pleased to hear that you have access to Cazuelas. I love Portuguese cuisine and it is a shame that many other European nations, have so little knowledge of their amazing regional cuisines. Have a nice day .. ------------- Volamos a Mediterraneo, un paraiso que conquista su gente u su cocina. |
