New recipe for some summer squash and 2 wine reviews

We had a new recipe for summer squash, made up by Brett on the spot for dinner tonight (along with elk from Brett's dad as well as potatoes and rosemary from the garden).

295. Summer squash - This was Brett's simple recipe (makes enough for 2 or one very hungry person with a second person who doesn't like squash that well.  Slice up, moderately thickly, and place in a container you can cover.  Brett used a Pyrex bowl with a lid, but foil on the grill works as well.   Toss with a bit of olive oil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a dash (or two) of ground chipotle.  Cover and bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees (works out well if you're also making roasted potatoes for instance).  

We also have two wines we've had for awhile and haven't reviewed.  Both are boxed wines from a local producer here in Virginia who makes very nice bottles, Michael Shaps.  We wanted something less fragile to take on the trip and they also happen to make boxed wines which would, when removed from said cardboard box, be perfect to fit in a cooler for our long vacation.  We bought both a Viognier and a Cabernet Franc.  Both wines are very good, but both had a big flaw - both were not clear.   We understand when a wine might have a bit of residue in them, however this was omnipresent and in the case of the Viognier was excessive!  Every single glass we ever poured from either box was like this.

296. 2012 - Virginia Wineworks - Viognier - this we actually took on our trip and forgot to review till now.  The wine itself is crisp and tart as a viognier should be, but every single glass was filled with finings, lots of finings.  It became kind of unpalatable eventually on the trip and we tossed the remainder of the bag before finishing it.  For those not into homebrewing or winemaking, finings are used to clear the wine or beer before bottling.  In this case, the box we got was apparently near the bottom of their vat when they filled it and they went too far and we got lots of finings.
297. NV - Virginia Wineworks - Cabernet Franc - Brett really likes Cabernet Franc and the bottle of wine from the same manufacturer is very good.  This was also very good, but had residue (grape pulp, skin, etc) in every glass.  It is not nearly as full of residue as the viognier (and Brett at least prefers it anyway), but it's a bit annoying.
