Official description from Wikipedia

Dniester is a salad made from shredded white cabbage, salted and lightly crushed, sliced ​​semi-smoked sausage, canned peas and mayonnaise.

According to legend, the Dniester salad was invented in the 1960s by the chef of the Chernivtsi restaurant Dnister, located on Olha Kobylyanska ul , No. 7. Dniester became the restaurant's signature salad, as well as a popular recipe for home cooking due to its taste, ease of preparation, and inexpensive ingredients. Later, the salad allegedly won a prize at the All-Union Culinary Competition in Moscow.

In addition to the main ingredients, the salad is prepared with the addition of onions, herbs, sugar, and decorated with boiled eggs on top.

Russian Wines

 Today was looking at some premium Russian wines at some wine emporium

Arthur Sarkissian Russian wines guide - pretty expensive too, hardcover, softcover and notebook to take wine-tasting notes

These are premium Russian wines from a variety of wine-growing regions and by different makes, all are supposedly highly rated.

Expensive too, no way your average americuck or europoo can afford any of them, I think.

Sherry Al Fresco

 Some autumnal sherry at dacha for us

This is Massandra Sherry - a Crimean sherry, pretty good, not what you, degenerates, inbreds and cross-breds in the west, europoops and americucks, are accustomed to swill; this is good stuff

More Rose Tinted Breakfast

Here is more Rose tinted breakfast, again with a bottle of Derbentskoye champagne, rose, and Derbentskoye rose is the most rose rose.

With McDonalds replacement fast food

Bottle of wine al-fresco at dacha Epicuro Primitivo

 Just what the title says, reporting a nice bottle of red enjoyed in country at dacha, al fresco wining

Luca Maroni give 97 points!

97 points leaves nothing much for improvement

Nice with some rich food

More in vino: Gvinis Marani Mukuzani

 This is some good wine, subtle and deceitful in a good way and not weak at all.

Rate 97 - Platinum ! on Decanter too.

But not everyone will be able to appreciate it.

Wine Lunch Last Summer in the Garden

 That was a nice little Rioja lunch last summer, fortunately, made pictures to remember it by.

Wine Lunch with Marquis de Sade

 How's this for a wine lunch on a plastic garden table in October, at my country residence, not locked up for winter yet.

Though wine was pretty good.

Today's Bottle of Wine

Today snagged this bottle of liquid Nerello Mascalese grapes, a Sicilian red wine, I am positive it'll be good for the price and at least for one lunch.

Not sure though we can provide these food pairings, though plenty of (stool) pigeons around, I think, a lump of mozarella with sliced tomatoes and some chicken breast will have to do.

Food pairings for Nerello Mascalese wines include:

• Pigeon breasts in red-wine sauce
• Wild mushroom and eggplant filo parcels
• Linguini with tomato and clams

Cava in Morning

 Nothing like a bottle of Cava in the morning.

Semi Seco, which is the second sweetest grade, is indeed too sweet but after half a bottle it doesn't seem like a problem anymore.

Also, wonder what Palette de France means.

Still, the black fungus cheese is pretty good, and goes well with cava/champagne.
