As for Rioja, price is not a handy measure of quality, and taste varies considerably from one terrain to another. Nancy's Wines for Food on Columbus Avenue has Puerta Vieja from Riojanas for $12.99. Joan is looking for something "spicier" than zinfandel, already a very spicy drink. Mr. Henry recommends trying a syrah, which can be positively peppery, or a south Italian varietal called primitivo which is intensely dark, almost black, and can stand up to the boldest foods.

My compliments, also, to the wonderfully well-organized Mrs. Henry, and to Mr. Henry, for having been smart enough to appeal to and acquire such a treasure.

I've been making do happily with Trader Joe's ridiculously inexpensive yet tasty Old Moon old vine zinfandel, but sometimes I want something spicier. My compliments to Mrs Henry for a diverse, tasty, and economical menu. Any menu that purposefully includes creative and tasty use of leftovers is to be heralded.
