#Nero d&039;Avola

Dope Rosso

I know I just opened this guy’s little brother a couple days ago, but it so impressed me I was dying to try the one nearly double in price. They’re calling this a Nero d’Avola ‘cru’, selected from the best head-trained, organic estate spots, though it is a blend with plentiful SY and CF. And–in a theme most 1%ers readily acknowledge from years dealing with “reserve” wines–the lesser bottling…

Although Italy contributes approximately 20% of the world’s wine, it remains a relative mystery to many people, due to unfamiliar grape varieties and wine region names.  Wine journalist and educator Filippo Bartolotta led us exploring the rich history, modern innovation, and the renaissance of Italian classic wine styles shaping the current identity of this historical wine region.  The winery…

Lamb & Saffron Tagine

Lamb & Saffron Tagine

If you want something easy to prepare and serve your friends midweek, you can’t go wrong with a tagine. The key to getting the most wonderfully flavoured lamb is to marinate it for up to 48 hours before slowly cooking it in the tagine sauce. Serve with couscous mixed with chopped preserved lemon and stir through some fresh mint or coriander leaves. Place the marinade spices in a large bowl and…

wine when football starts (and hopefully not ends)

What wine will you be drinking when football starts (and hopefully not ends)? THIS one!

We’ll see how this 2020 football season plays out. But one thing that’s for sure is how good chilled reds will be when watching at least one week of games. We all know whites and rosés get chilled on ice, and in the summer the frostier the better. But I feel like people don’t fully understand the beauty of a chilled red. Some people cry gauche – NOT so. There’s an art to selecting the right red…

The Mystery Of Cacio E Pepe While Walking In An Edward Gorey World.

The Mystery Of Cacio E Pepe While Walking In An Edward Gorey World.

The hedges have not been clipped for awhile in this small garden at the edge of the Villa Borgehesein Rome. Grass does its best to cover a narrow walkway, while the sky above unfurls grey clouds and grey light like an old sheet stretched between the sun and earth.  We walk through marble and nature fashioned in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries for Cardinal Scipione Borghese, Prince Marcantonio…

Taking wine with Signor Caruso

Another Helping sings for its supper after a wine tasting at Veeno on Ecclesall Road.

Nino, Craig and me at Veeno’s wine tasting

THE next time someone plonks down a plate of gorgonzola in front of me I shall know what wine to drink it with. I shall casually reach for a bottle of juicy red Nero d’Avola and smirk knowingly.

Likewise, should I be confronted by some buffalo mozzarella, I can click my fingers, summon the waiter and say:” Marco, I think we need the sprightly Grillo…

Rosso Noto

Gotta admit: I was kinda drawn to the packaging on this one–I kinda like these stubby little tailored bottles–and combined with a smart, professional label, the combination is irresistible. I, too can be a sucker for packaging, but what catches my eye runs opposite what label-producers market to the 99% *red blend* demo. This grape is a mainstay in Sicily–the largest wine-producing region in…
