Hot Tub Time Machine September Wine Club

We had September wine club at Erica's last Saturday night.  It was a beautiful warm September evening, perfect for eating, drinking and hot tubbing.  Everyone came glammed up in their raddest 80s gear, and we tasted many nice bottles of white wine.  To start, we had roasted tomato, burrata, pesto crostinis, smoked salmon mousse with chives, and an antipasti platter with cheese (comte, blue castello, delice de bourgogne (triple creme), and gouda), salami and olives.  For dinner, we had a turkey and kale lasagna, and mixed greens with roasted golden beets and almonds with a shallot champagne vinaigrette dressing.  For dessert, we had no pudge brownies in the hot tub.  We managed to polish off 10 bottles of wine, all in all a successful evening.  Thank you to everyone for coming! Recipes can be found here.
