Our first night of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival at Bottega Restaurant on Bourke Street. Food was excellent, wine was excellent, and guess what - they make really good beer in Sardinia.
I will let the menu speak for itself.
Have to say I loved the Salsicca Sarda (which translates as Dry Sardinian Salami) in the first course.
The sparkling Vermentino was also delicious. Trevor had the beer and was quite impressed.
The Cured Swordfish was wonderful and then we had some pasta with braised goat - yum! The pasta dish was accompanied by a wine called Cannonau (we’ve never had this before. We love all the unusual grapes you can get in Italian wine).
