This. Ham and Riesling are perfect together. Pastrami and Riesling do work well (I have tried it) because the acidity in the pastrami balance against the sweetness of the Riesling. When you get to the spicy cured meats like salami (especially the San Francisco style dry cured, like Molinari or Gallo, which have large peppercorns) then a rich red like Zinfandel or red Calabrian, Sicilan or a simple Cotes du Rhone are lovely pairings.

Excellent point! We had a memorable picnic in Avignon several years back. Stopped by a cheese shop, charcuterie and a bakery for a baguette. Opened a Côte du Rhone and enjoyed the afternoon by the Pont d'Avignon.

I'd kill for that teak furniture!
If I had the wherewithal, my whole house would be midcentury.

Our house was built 1960 (by previous owner). When renovating/decorating we've tried to incorporate plenty of 60's pieces. Tables, bookshelves and sideboards in teak.

A salt bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, and red onions may be my favorite breakfast ever.

I miss good bagels here. You can only get the packaged crap. And only the three standard flavors, plain, blueberry (an abomination), and cinnamon raisin (that's why there's cin/raisin bread!).
No salt, no savory, and when you ask for egg they look at you like you're insane.

Hard to beat.
