A long lunch is strategic. Don’t start too early. Lots of bread around. Keep the courses small-ish. But keep them coming. Don’t stay too long in the sun. And start with something that intrigues the palate, has body, stone fruit, a bit of spice and minerality, and, if you choose to stick with it, can pair with lots of things. Like this Church Road Gwen chardonnay, which can go the distance through to dinner.
