For lunch on our penultimate day in Philadelphia, we brought a bottle of Chaddsford Sangri-La Sangria to the Radicchio Café. This was our first experience bringing our own bottle to a BYOB restaurant. We sat outside and popped our bottle of wine while we ate an appetizer of Focaccia Caprese, which was a divine twist on tricolore salad by adding focaccia and prosciutto. The wine was a bold, sweet red with a robust fragrance of cloves.
The breeze had the merest autumn bite in it, but the wine warmed us up as we soaked in the feel of the city. All too soon, our meals arrived. I had the Linguine Pomodoro, which was excellent after I added some crushed red pepper. He had the Paccheri Bolognese, which he said was terrific.
We finished the wine and headed off to our next destination. It was a quiet moment in the shade breaking up the bustling of a hectic day.
