I Love French Wine and Food - A Midi Viognier - By Levi Reiss 2007-07-13 00:23:53 By Levi Reiss
If you are looking for fine French
wine and food, consider the Languedoc-Roussillon region of south central France. You may find a bargain, and I hope that you’ll have fun on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a local white Viognier.
Among France’s eleven wine-growing regions the Languedoc-Roussillon is the largest in actual area and ranks fourth in acreage planted in wine grapes. This area, which includes the Midi, was once known for producing huge quantities of questionable quality wine called vin ordinaire. Now, however, in part due to the influence of Australian winemakers, the region is producing more and more fine wine. Unlike most other regions of France, many Languedoc-Roussillon wines, such as the one reviewed below, are identified by their grape variety on the label.
Don’t think of this region as being uniform. For example, Languedoc tends to be flat, whereas Roussillon is hilly. In addition, several areas with their own
Chinese Cooking - The Secret Is In The Sauce - By Craig Chambers 2007-07-11 15:23:55 By CraigChambersChinese
cooking night is a wonderful tradition that my family has created over the years and one that we have all come to love! On this special night once a month, my aunts, grandmas, parents and even my two brothers and their families clear their hectic schedules and gather around the family kitchen to whip up a savory and delicious meal straight from the Orient. Why Chinese food, you ask? Of all the different cuisines we have tried throughout the years, Chinese recipes are easy to follow, the food is delicious and Chinese cooking sauces have become our favorite. Their adaptability and variety of flavorful spices is loved by the whole family.
One thing we learned very early on is that Chinese food and Chinese cooking are greatly complimented by the key ingredients of the sauces. You can see this very easily in the American Chinese food cooking trends. It is mainly a mixture of vegetables enhanced with Chinese sauces. These cooking sauces are used as garnishes and
I Love German Wine and Food - A Mosel Dornfelder - By Levi Reiss 2007-07-11 08:07:09 By Levi Reiss
If you are looking for fine German
wine and food, consider the Mosel region of central western Germany on the border of Luxembourg. You may find a bargain, and I hope that you’ll have fun on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a local red Dornfelder.
The Mosel Valley is considered one of the most beautiful river valleys in the world. This region, once called Mosel-Saar-Ruwer for its three rivers, is known for its Riesling. Some of the greatest Rieslings in Germany and in fact in the entire world come from Mosel. Experts can often identify Mosel Rieslings because of the slate in the local soil, which may impart a taste of flint. The slopes are among the steepest in the wine-producing world, sometimes attaining 70 degrees. The soil is so precious that every spring local workers lug pails of soil up these slopes, reversing the effect of the rains that wash the soil down every winter.
Mosel ranks fifth in Germany for both vineyard acreage and total
I Love French Wine And Food - A Bordeaux Merlot - By Levi Reiss 2007-07-09 21:59:27 By Levi Reiss
If you are looking for fine French
wine and food, consider the world-famous Bordeaux
region of southwestern France. You may find a bargain, and I hope that you’ll have fun on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a red Merlot from an internationally renowned producer.
Among France’s eleven wine-growing regions Bordeaux anks first in acreage with about 50% more land devoted to vineyards than the second-place Rhone Valley. But it’s more than just a question of acreage and volume. Bordeaux is widely considered as one of the top wine producing regions of the entire earth and has been for centuries. The wine reviewed below comes from the Pomerol area on the right bank of the Garonne River, which divides Bordeaux in two.
Bordeaux produces over seventy million cases of wine per year, about 85% red, 12 white, and the rest rose. That works out to more than two million cases of rose wine per year. I don’t remember ever tasting a Bordeaux
The Ten-Minute Sommelier A Wine Guide - By Josh Stone 2007-07-09 15:24:37 By Josh Stone
Of course, if your restaurant is serious about serving wine, you will want to have a wine expert on hand. This kind of expert is called a “sommelier”, which is French for wine steward. However, for the restaurant that wants to just keep a few bottles on the menu, a basic working knowledge of wine will be enough to get a grip on the subject.
Wine has enjoyed an explosion in popularity recently. Medical research has confirmed that not only is wine enjoyable to the senses, but it is good for the body as well. The newly-discovered health benefits of wine have led to a resurgence in its popularity.
But, of course, wine has always been popular with the serious gourmet. Wine fanciers are a pretty sophisticated lot, and wine knowledge is so intricate and esoteric that you’re almost guaranteed to find no end of things to learn about it. Get used to the idea that you will meet “wine snobs”, who hold their knowledge of wine to be some kind of disting Read more:Minute
