Fentiman’s Shandy & Mandarin Orange Jigger

We both loved the Shandy. And, the Mandarin Orange Jigger was “interesting”.

Lotsa Potato, Little Tuna

It’s a good thing we like a good dose of heat because this Tunisian Tuna sandwich was swimming in […]

Varasano’s Pizzeria — Brunch

The Half Moon Dolce (Fontina, Capicola, Dates, Walnuts, Honey & Minced Rosemary)

This pie was practically begging for a glass (or bottle) of wine. Sadly, we were too early.

Note to self: Delay all future brunch meals til noon or later.

Barolo Chinato (Antica Ricetta di Giulio Cocchi)

This Barolo Chinato was an instant grab. Instant Win. Cocchi Barolo Chinato makes a lovely after-dinner digestif to sip… as well as a delicious addition to many cocktails. The sharp (yet well-rounded) bite it adds can make a great cocktail even […]

Feast

Fried Chicken with bacon bleu risotto

Wow, this is the sort of meal that should require a disclaimer: Don’t make plans for today… you’ll need a nap… soon. The bacon bleu risotto was incredibly rich, buttery, creamy, and smooth. A generous dotting of bacon added smoke appeal and depth of […]

Potted Chicken Liver & Foie Gras Pâté with grilled bread

The touch of smoke from the grilled bread play off the creamy richness of the pâté. All at once, rich, buttery, and delicate with an air of sweetness that just barely presents itself. (Possibly from a reduction of armagnac, to […]

2006 Jackson-Triggs Vidal Icewine Proprietor's Reserve

The Good: From taste to price, I have a ton of praise for this surprising little wine. I snatched the bottle off the shelf of a local Whole Foods last year. And, instantly forgot about it. My expectations were low given the insanely low price. I’ve never seen an icewine at this price (purchase price […]

Royal Tokaji 2000

Royal Tokaji 2000

With a taste of honeyed apricots, this is one of my favorite wines. Incredible depth of flavor, it tastes of sweet nectar, reminding me why wine is referred to as the nectar of the Gods. Sourwood honey, apricot, fresh calmyrna figs, a hint of floral orange blossom, orange zest, a bit […]
