Cassoulet
in Do you like to cook?, on November 11, 2007
Cassoulet
A dish immersed in history, surrounded by controversy and seemingly insurmountable.
But if you get right down to it, all it is is a slow cooked stew of plump, white beans and several kinds of meat, usually duck or goose, some sausages and pork or lamb. (If you're a vegetarian, this ...

Wine Bargains
in Celebrate Wine, on August 20, 2007
A small price tag doesn't always mean that you're getting a lesser-quality wine. Heck, just talk to the fans of the acclaimed "Two Buck Chuck." I'm a big believer in the $10 bottle of wine. Of course I enjoy splurging on the higher-end bottles, too, but if it's Tuesday n...

French Organic Wine
in Celebrate Wine, on April 20, 2007
Normally, when I think of organic wine, I think of the winemakers in California.
I also think of sandals and tie-die t-shirts. While the trend in organic wines seems to growing, it is growing very slowly. This is the case in the U.S. as well as France, who also has its share of organic wineries...

White Merlot - To Taste of Not to Taste?
in Celebrate Wine, on May 17, 2006
I have been seeing a lot of white Merlot on the store shelves of late, and I have to admit I hadn't heard of this until recently, though my research shows that I was just out of the wine loop.
As I suspected, it's Zinfandel made with Merlot grapes.
From Supermarket Guru :

Possible Wine Violence?
in Celebrate Wine, on June 20, 2007
If you just think about this lightly, it seems like a lot to get worked up about over nothing. Sort of making a mountain out of a mole hill. However, when you think about it for awhile, it is understandable how people can get crazed when they think their livelihood may be in danger. Hopefully, it...
