mex mix

Our last trip to Texas has developed a renovated admiration towards Mexican and Tex Mex gastronomy. We are not fully into it, but we can certainly enjoy a few characteristic elements, which this weekend was going to bring back to the table. 

Earlier this month we tried a riesling beyond our previous encounters with this type of wine, which never made it for me. However this was a total surprise, and we decided to repeat. The result of drinking this second bottle of 2010 Crawford River riesling was a confirmation of the initial positive impression. Again, this new discovery is made in Victoria, coming from a place called Condah, not too far from the border with SA.

Considering this was supposed to be nothing else than an easy lunch, we added one of our adored fruits, which while displaying a full on intense flavour it is very light. I bet we could have kilos of passion fruit without a single complain.

At this point we deserved something special to conclude our midday meal, and we kept the fruity approach, even if not as full of fruit. As announced last Friday,  Kakawa's banana caramel striked back, so we decided it was fair to support this noble re-release gravitating around a magical combination of banana, caramel, roasted coconut and milk chocolate.
