DrinkUpNY: June 2014
http://blog.drinkupny.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. Wines for the Fourth of July. By Liza B. Zimmerman. The 4th is all about grilling, eating outside and picnicking. The food and wine festivities can go in a couple of different directions, so here are a few suggestions. If you go with the classic meat route, you will want some big, spicy reds. They could range from Cabernet Sauvignons. To Zins and even Syrahs these days. A Little Fish on the Grill. Not every BBQ needs to feature meat. Cooking up a little salmon or searing a grea...

Monday, March 30, 2015. Where are the Next Great Values? By Liza B. Zimmerman. Land costs have become so prohibitive in parts of California, and other places in the world, that is often hard to find a well-priced bottle of wine. For better values I always advise that consumers look to regions where land and labor costs are lower. My two current favorites are Chile and Portugal. When you start dipping into the lesser-known appellations like Lisboa- the growing region outside of the capital city- and the c...

Thursday, August 28, 2014. Wines for Labor Day : Spice Up the Last Holiday of the Summer with Some Fun, and Food-Friendly Wines. By Liza B. Zimmerman. Labor Day when I grew up in New York was either meant for picnics in the Park or a sultry, long weekend on the Jersey Shore. It was always about simple food, hamburgers off the grill or some fresh seafood salad someone brought from home. Ideally everyone was sent home with shoes full of dirt or sand. Something for Those Burgers. Pairs well with meat, parti...

DrinkUpNY: April 2015
http://blog.drinkupny.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Thai Style Salmon, WB Stylee’. By Warren Bobrow, Cocktail Whisperer. I was thinking of cold-water fish the other day, salmon to be exact. From the Pacific Northwest Coast. In my opinion, this is the best fish that money can buy. And to go with Pacific Northwest Salmon, you need the right wine. And this wine would be none other than a wine that has impressed me greatly, Cairnbrae Sauvignon Blanc. Cairnbrae Sauvignon Blanc is not like the fruit forward American or Italian. 188; oz...
