Snacks and notes from a small celebration, to prepare for a more joyous and grandiose occasion in August: our wedding! Yes indeed, Bobby and I will tie the knot after seven years and a lifetime to come of love, partnership, adventure, and good eating. Our friend Josh, a wine guru on Capital Hill, sent a healthy splash of whites and reds for us to try. It was impossible to finish this small collection of wine between the two of us. So, we had a little party. Here are a few simple pairing snacks to tide over the appetite.
