I recently had the opportunity to read\u00a0Sobremesa: A memoir of food and love in thirteen courses<\/a><\/em>\u00a0by Josephine Caminos Oria. This indulgence was paired with a sample set from\u00a0Bodega Norton<\/a> including Privada Family Blend 2016<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Reserva Chardonnay 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The book serves dual purposes. The robust memoir portion leads readers through Josephine\u2019s personal journey including her childhood, coming of age, parenthood, and marriage. The book\u2019s format seamlessly incorporates a selection of recipes which mirror the texture of the storytelling with a charming and humorous flair. For example, Milanesas (beef milanese) will serve seven people, \u201cmaybe, if you hide them well enough.\u201d The author has a knack for showing emotion in endearing ways that make the reader feel like they are a part of the scenes as they unfold, particularly in her descriptions of the cast of \u201ccharacters\u201d which are, of course, her real life connections.<\/p>\n

\"Bodega<\/p>\n

I loved learning about the concept of sobremesa<\/em>, which is the shared experience of enjoying a meal and conversation with loved ones. Though this story is indelibly focused on the author\u2019s own heritage \u2014 she was raised in Pittsburg with an Argentine background and culture \u2014 the concept can be translated to any group of people that care for one another.<\/p>\n

She assigns these exchanges credit for sorting out both loss and celebration, love and death, romance and secrets. \u201cIt\u2019s equally a story about belonging,\u201d says Josephine. \u201cTo oneself, to two countries, to the legions of ghosts and ancestors\u201d that are remembered through the commonality of food.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaking sense of the world,\u201d via the sobremesa<\/em>, the author says that she \u201cpledged allegiance\u201d to the ritual and readers will too. Though I wasn\u2019t able to create a dish (my own life has taken a busy turn this month) I enjoyed reading the memoir at night before bed and earmarking the recipes that I\u2019ll ask my husband to make soon.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got my eye on empanadas al cuchillo<\/strong> (knife cut beef handheld empanadas) which would be so incredible with Privada Family Blend 2016, which is comprised of old vine Malbec, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon from the family\u2019s estate vineyard in the appellation of Luj\u00e1n de Cuyo, Mendoza. Tarta pascualina<\/strong> (spinach and egg Easter pie) will be lovely with Reserva Chardonnay 2019\u00a0comprised of grapes also from Luj\u00e1n de Cuyo, Mendoza.<\/p>\n
