Part I of my interview with Ray Pearson, Glenfiddich single malt Ambassador
If you are eating anything from Galicia, you know it has paprika. Although the word itself is Hungarian and the spice originated in America (it was brought to Spain on the Caravela Santa-Maria in the 15th century), it became most...
Most Tunisian food is blazing hot, easily the hottest of the North African cuisines. This dish, however, plucked from the excellent cookbook Real Stew by Clifford Wright, highlights the flavors of the Maghreb without the excessive fiery spice. It is...
Wine tasting notes from a recent private tasting with the winemakers of Australia's Jacob's Creek.
I used to always screw up steaks whenever I cooked them at home. Whether overdone or undercooked (even for someone like me who favors the rare side), either way they were inedible. I was frustrated, both with the waste of...
In part I of my interview with Andrew Weir, The Balvenie Ambassador for the Western US, we explored The Balvenie’s whisky-making philosophy and what the role of Ambassador entails. Here is second part of our interview. Are there any new...
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down for lunch with Andrew Weir, The Balvenie Ambassador for the Western US. Andrew is based in San Francisco and arrived in the States in 2005 after a long acting career in his...
via www.nytimes.com Glad to see the NY Times picked up on Wine Library TV and its irrepressible host, Gary Vaynerchuk. I've been a fan of his for some time; I find his dry wit quite funny, and I am all...
"Only those in the know drink Portuguese reds." This wine is another steal from Portugal, a country that is really grabbing my attention right now. The Douro region is renowned for port (the fortified wine), and over the past decade...
Exciting times - the award-winning Glencairn scotch whisky glasses arrived yesterday. I gave them a whirl with a wee dram last night. The rounded bowl and elongated barrel certainly aided in nosing the malt (especially after a bit of water...
Earlier this summer, I had the chance to have dinner at Daniel Boulud's 10th restaurant (DBGB) in its opening week. This one is much more down-market than his flagship Daniel restaurant, and is aimed squarely at sausages/beer/brasserie-style dining, drawing heavily...
Louis Barruol of Chateau de Saint Cosme in Gigondas has done a beautiful thing. By sourcing young Grenache from top vineyards in the Rhone Valley, he's produced a lush, juicy Rhone red that sells for an astonishingly low price for...
Oban is the unofficial capital of the Western Highlands, and this is one of the few distilleries operating in the region. It is one of the smallest producers in the Diageo "Classic Malts" series, and is one of less than...
The Balvenie is certainly becoming one of my favorite malts; it suits my palate, and apparently the region suits many other folks as well (4 out of the 5 top-selling single malts are Speysiders). There is something about wood finishes...
