Egg salad panini

I ordered the egg salad panini sandwich at Kokopelli Bistro today - and it was great. Think diced up hard cooked egg (didn't seem to be anything mixed with it), capers, and ribbons of roasted red peppers in oil. This delightful mixture was scooped into a wedge of crusty italian bread (the top was all crusty, no white) and warmed in a panini press.

The bistro is part of the Kokopelli winery operation in Chandler, AZ. It used to be their bottling plant, but I'm not sure if it still is or not. With lunch my friend and I also had their 'wine sampler' - 6 very generous 1 ounce pours of our choice of wines.

In case you're interested, and in the Sonora desert area, look for Kokopelli wines http://kokopelliwinery.com/

Not only are these nationally award winning wines exceptional in taste (and their bottles are really neat!), but they're organic. The winery is in Bonita Valley (southern AZ). The velvety texture of your first sip will have you hooked!

I've also heard there's another Kokopelli Bistro in Surprise, AZ for those West-Siders.

Enjoy!
