April 30, 2010 By
Really enjoyed this bubbly from Burgenland, Austria at a recent tasting. The wine is cremant-like with tons of tiny bubbles and a floral nose with great acidity. Golden in color, this wine is a great option when looking for an affordable sparkling wine. Around $27.

April 30, 2010 By
I’m looking for a charity or benevolent opportunity to get involved in. I live in northern New Jersey and am interested in food so perhaps I can help with a food bank or something along those lines. Other niches are also being considered, so if you’re involved in a charity or project that you feel […]

Old Hickory Steakhouse Restaurant – Solid Food, Southern Hospitality
April 29, 2010 By
Hotel restaurants get a bad rap, oftentimes, it’s well deserved. The case isn’t true for Old Hickory Steakhouse at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, TN. Set in an antebellum-style mansion, Old Hickory Steakhouse is southern hospitality meets solid food. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I was warmly greeted by the hosts on the front porch […]

Momofuku Noodle Bar Porky Visit
April 20, 2010 By
Even though I’ve worked in Manhattan and visit often during downtime, I’d not had the opportunity to visit David Chang’s Momofuku Noodle Bar. For those of you in New York City or who visit our fair city, the place is a MUST! Lunch in the trendy hot spot was full of delicious porkyness. I enjoyed the […]

Ghirardelli Dark Fudgy Brownies
April 12, 2010 By
These are THE brownies for chocolate lovers. Almost too rich and chocolaty, but not quite by my standards. I often use these brownies to make brownie hot fudge sundaes. They are fan favorites every time. Ingredients: • 3/4 cups flour • 1/4 tsp. baking soda • 3/4 cup sugar • 1/3 cup butter • 2 […]

2007 Summers Le Nude Chardonnay
April 12, 2010 By
This Alexander Valley unoaked Chardonnay is made with grapes from the Arroyo Secco region of Monterey County. This palest yellow wine features the tiniest bubbles in the glass. The 2007 Summers Le Nude Chardonnay shows a big, tropical fruit body and a super crisp finish with just the right amount of acidity. Very enjoyable wine. […]

April 8, 2010 By
I selected this wine for a ‘blends’ tasting last week since it’s 43% Malbec, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Syrah, and 10% Petit Verdot. The 2007 Alta Vista Atemporal is just about the darkest purple wine you’ll find and it’s gorgeous to look at in the glass. The nose is light upon uncorking but decanting for […]
