October 2013 Reading & Tasting

Book

"The Lowland" by Jhumpa Lahiri, set in both India and the US, and tells the story of two brothers living in Calcutta at a time of political rebellion. 

Wine

Tempranillo, a Spanish variety with notes of leather, tobacco, cherry, plum, vanilla and clove. It's medium bodied, and tastes delicious with pizza, lasagna, and even Mexican food.
