Cooking Homemade Marinara with Classic Sicilian Nero d'Avola

I finally got to relax and do something I have been aching to do...

Tonight I took a ton of ripe tomatoes, oregano, and basil from the garden, and sautéed all of it with onions, garlic, fennel, olive oil, and a few secret ingredients.  Homemade marinara simmering while I sip Chiaramonte 2010 Nero d'Avola, a classic red from Sicily ... yes please.  This vineyard is small and soooo true to itself.  Flavored of anise, Mediterranean herbs and lavender ... tannic and balanced.

This is a wine I want to share.
