Wine & Dine: January 2012
http://foodgloriousfoodoc.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Wine reviews, nonsense and food pairings. Thursday, January 26, 2012. I love you Meletti Amaro! This is The Shit. Excuse my inappropriateness). I tried this last week when our awesome rep, Kevin came by. I wasn't expecting to like it tremendously, since I've had, and own, a bottle of Fernet Branca, which is also an Amaro, and sets the benchmark for all other Amaros (in my humble opinion, anyway). How to describe the nose? Monday, January 02, 2012. Speaking of "Quiet Village" - that sums up January for us...

Wine & Dine: Hypocrisy rampant in the restaurant industry
http://foodgloriousfoodoc.blogspot.com/2012/02/hypocrisy-rampant-in-restaurant.html
Wine reviews, nonsense and food pairings. Monday, February 27, 2012. Hypocrisy rampant in the restaurant industry. Ike Popeye said, "I've had all I can stands, and I can't stands no more! So many of the new "farm-to-table" type restaurants boast seasonal menus, and food coming to your table, straight from the Farmer's Market. GREAT! But what is listed on their wine list? What's up with that? Sorry for bringing Cartman into this, but that's just. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.

Wine reviews, nonsense and food pairings. Thursday, February 03, 2011. Last week was very eventful for my friend Chef Anahita Naderi, as she put out an exquisite meal for those of us lucky to be at her Pop-Up Restaurant, which she aptly named, "Hidden Dinner". With the emphasis on Pop! Pop Rocks and Champagne? Who knew that could be so good! The course was also served with a Spiced Chai Tea shooter. warm and soothing. Why, HELLO Darling! Cold Beef Noodle Salad. I think this dish was overlooked by man...

Wine & Dine: Classic Tiki Music
http://foodgloriousfoodoc.blogspot.com/2012/01/quiet-village-tiki-music.html
Wine reviews, nonsense and food pairings. Monday, January 02, 2012. This beautiful Tiki music is called "Quiet Village," originally done by Les Baxter in 1951. So enchanting! Martin Denny does an excellent job of this too. I'm pretty sure this was the background music for Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Hope you had a great holiday season filled with friends, family and the lion's share of food and libations. Wishing you good times ahead in 2012! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
