GrapeScot: What's cooking?
http://grapescot.blogspot.com/2011/01/whats-cooking.html
Wine and Scotch Consulting, Tastings and Events. January 15, 2011. Here's the link for the tarte aux pommes recipe I use. Http:/ www.joyofbaking.com/FrenchAppleTart.html. Creme fraiche is everywhere in France, but very hard to find in Ottawa. You can make it but it's fiddly, takes time and doesn't always turn out right. Ottawa Bagel on Wellington sells two kinds, and I'm busy lobbying Loblaws at South Keys to start stocking it. Cheers and bon appetit! Kentucky Bourbon Festival 2015. Ardbeg - Feis Ile 2014.

Wine and Scotch Consulting, Tastings and Events. October 28, 2014. Gartbreck - Excitement builds for Islay's next distillery. Courtesy Gartbreck - artist's view. Earlier this year, I sat down, on a grassy knoll at Laphroaig Distillery, with Jean Donnay, entrepreneurial distillery designer and whisky maker, to talk about his exciting new project - Gartbreck, soon to be Islay's ninth distillery. I asked Jean to tell me about the journey that brought him to Islay to build a distillery. This is his story.

With about 5 million barrels maturing in rickhouses in Kentucky, that's one mighty big broken heart, Dierk. But come on up to Ottawa. We'll cheer you up. It has been decreed that Ottawa Bourbon week. Highly affordable, re...
