Champagne Taste: WINE MAPS
http://champagne-taste.blogspot.com/p/wine-maps.html
Never settle for ordinary. Whenever I try a new wine, I go to my wine maps, and familiarize myself with the region - cool/warm, inland/coastal, etc. Often that helps us learn more about grape growing, and what to expect in terms of concentration, alcohol content, terroir expressiveness and earthiness, and acidity. Most of the better known wine regions are represented on this page. To enlarge the maps, click on the pictures. PACIFIC NORTHWEST - OREGON and WASHINGTON. NEW YORK - “LOCAL". Pairing of the Week.

Here, Taste This!: Healthy - Part 3
http://here-taste-this.blogspot.com/2014/08/healthy-part-3.html
Here, Taste This! Tales from my “test lab” kitchen. Thursday, August 21, 2014. Healthy - Part 3. In the cooler months, I crave bigger flavors and heartier dishes. And let’s face it, maybe we’re not quite as conscious of what we look like when we have sweaters, jackets, and scarves to cover some of it up. For that matter, how about fruit? Grilled corn and grilled peaches and especially grilled tomatoes and eggplants are among my favorites. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Here, Taste This!: March 2014

Here, Taste This! Tales from my “test lab” kitchen. Monday, March 24, 2014. Buona Festa di San Giuseppe! St Joseph’s Day was last week - and if you grew up in a Sicilian/Sicilian-American household, you know the importance of celebrating St. Joseph’s Day. You probably also associate the feast day with pastries. Yes? Did you also have the dinner, and not just the pastries? Also - pair with Italian red wines - basic Sangiovese wines from Tuscany, Nero d’Avola from Sicily, you know the drill.

Here, Taste This! Tales from my “test lab” kitchen. Monday, July 21, 2014. Healthy - Part 1. Tuna, vegetables, mung bean noodles, Asian style sauce. Shame on me for posting so many unhealthy recipes, no? Sure, I’ve posted some that are good for our health, but very few. Truthfully, though - I’ve been taking steps to eat healthier lately, and the results have been very good - I found myself in a bit of a health rut and started eating better and exercising more, and so far I feel great! I chose an Alsatian...

Here, Taste This! Tales from my “test lab” kitchen. Tuesday, October 29, 2013. So the next post will definitely be the lamb dish I made (especially since I’ve been asked by a lot of people for the recipe). 5 weeks in the jar. Sounds really easy, right? That’s because it is. Enjoy limoncello after dinner, or use it as an ingredient in some really fun cocktails! Monday, October 28, 2013. Venison, More Homemade Bread, and Madiran. Anyway it was quite a learning experience and delicious. Autumn Appetizer - G...

Here, Taste This! Tales from my “test lab” kitchen. Sunday, June 22, 2014. I probably told you in my goulash blog post (I did write up the goulash, didn’t I? And wait until I make the poppyseed strudel again - there’s a fun Magyar dish! A little difficult, too.) It was my grandpa’s favorite. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Here, Taste This! Tales from my “test lab” kitchen. Thursday, December 26, 2013. Whether you call them struffoli or honey balls, they’re just plain deliciousness and fun to eat. You have heard of struffoli, right? And that’s struffoli! Thursday, December 19, 2013. Christmas Cookies - Italian Style. Hazelnut and Chocolate Biscotti. Pinching it at the ends to seal it.

Here, Taste This! Tales from my “test lab” kitchen. Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Healthy - Part 2. When I’m trying to eat healthier, aside from the obvious like drink more water and tea, and incorporate more vegetables and fruits into my diet, I also tend to focus on fish and chicken. And in the warmer months, mostly fish. A few nights ago, I created a nice summer dish that was simple and healthy and clean, and paired a good wine with it, for dinner on the porch. So there’s a healthy summer dinner -...
