myself. It’s smoother than limoncello and really good but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere in SoCal. Anybody know who carries it?

smoked salmon with red wine. I think this is why Pinot Noir can work well with some fish, because the tannins seem smoother and don’t interact as violently (generally speaking).

Just returned from a fabulous time in the Winelands outside of Cape Town. We started the day out at Zevenwacht. The trip included a winery tour and cheese as well as wine tasting. I have to say all the wines were great with the...

Saute it It is delicious, and far meatier, yet smoother than chicken liver. Coated lightly with flour, herbs, garlic, and a nice wine glaze

about the origin of the salmon (farmed Atlantic). The crust of the épine-style French rolls had softened lacking the light crispiness to make them special. Nothing fatal here but these kind of details should work much smoother at...

The Macallan and Oban are both pricey single-malt Scotches. I would not choose either of these for a beginning Scotch drinker. I’d instead opt for a blended Scotch whisky, which tends to be smoother and less full of the...

disappointed to learn that the chicken combo entree (some pulled, some on the bone) is sold out. The somewhat testy, unfriendly initial posture of the service doesn’t make this revelation go down any smoother. We...

No it does not. One thing that I’ve found when making risotto — either with arborio or sushi rice — is not to use chicken stock, but to use water. It lends for a cleaner and smoother risotto. You can make up for...

New place called Anmol replaced the Wine Cellar on Rantoul St. Only open a few days. So much better than Passage to India in Salem! We took in yesterday afternoon, ordered everything hot – stayed with things that don’t...

though. Sautee the mushrooms with some onions and some herbs you like along with some white wine. The filling you want to make sounds a lot like this one for these vegetable tortes. I made them a couple of years ago and they were...

if this qualifies as a simple sauce, but we like this one with homemade whole wheat pasta. 6 slices chopped bacon olive oil 1 large onion 1/2 cup white wine dried red pepper flakes 1 teas. dried basil 32 oz can whole peeled tomatoes...

prepared and very good. Ordered a bottle of Siclian wine (Nero Avola) $29. They did not have this bottle and then selected a Montelpulciano @$55. Net is the bill came with no charge for bar drinks and the wine at $29. The manager...

Sauvignon. None of the classified growths, or any other well-known château, produces their Bordeaux wine without at least some Merlot in the blend; several do not use any Cabernet Sauvignon. But Cabernet Sauvignon is a member of...

Hi – I just spent a few evenings looking at Parker’s Wine Buyers Guide, 7th edition, and now I’m even more unsure about some of the Burgundies we have... If he says (regarding the 2004 vintage): "Surprising...

I bought a few pounds of Walnuts from Perigord at FAIRWAY. They are so much better than the regular walnuts -richer, smoother, less astringent. I also bought a bottle Walnut Oil from France.They have an entire etagere filled with...
