Wino Wednesday, a monthly feature on Food Gypsy where we select our favorite from the past month. Our pick for May: Ca' Dei Mandorli Dei Giari, Moscato D'asti 2009, a great way to start or finish a meal, it pairs well with cheese and milk chocolate.
Wino Wednesday, a monthly feature on Food Gypsy where we choose a bottle from the recycling bin and tell you how much we enjoyed drinking it. April's pick: 2002 Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Rose, Champagne a bit of bubbling happiness.
Wino Wednesday, a monthly feature on Food Gypsy where we select our favourite bottle from a month of liberal boozing. Among my favorite picks of the year thus far; the Corte Majoli Amarone Della Valpolicella 2007 is my kind of wine on a cold weather evening, with a big bowl of meaty pasta, a strong cheese or grilled meats.
Apothic Red, 2008 Wine Makers Blend from California and a great pick for a party because it pairs so easily and sells at at a price point under $20. Of course, I bought it for the label (it's embossed and everything). Our wine pick of the month for February.
Brumont Cotes de Gascogne 2010, Gros Manseng / Sauvignon. The Gros Manseng grape is not a grape you read a great deal about; gown primarily in the South of France it's a great food pairing grape with a citrus nose and a low intensity, and our pick of the month for January.
We are champagne pigs, anything that sparkles and fizzes gets play with us. Some are hits and some are misses; the Perles roses Cuvée Antonia Naveran 2008, was a big holiday hit this season.
We mistakenly took the De Bortoli Deen Vat 10 Pinot Noir 2008 to a mixer with folks we didn't know. A decision we immediately regretted.
Move over orange juice, champagne has a new brunch companion for a snazzy, light brunch cocktail. I give you the Pomosa, champagne pomegranate cocktail. For your next special occasion; think pomegranate.
In this Food Gypsy Wino Wednesday we feature port, wine's big brother. A spicy warm aroma that packs a punch, Mulled Port could level you if you're not careful. What better way to celebrate the holidays than by being blissfully toasted by the fire. Caveat: Port is NOT WINE, this is 19.5% alcohol, and it will kick your ass.
Wino Wednesday, is a new feature on Food Gypsy, this gives you two whole days before the weekend hits so you can go shopping. ('Cuz Lord knows, you need your wine.) On this (Mostly) Wino Wednesday we feature our favorite wine(s) from the past month: La Demoiselle de Sociando Mallet '08, Béthanie, Arbois '07, and Pago del Vicario Penta Barrica '07.
Part 2 of our sexy wine & cheese liaison on Food Gypsy; six great bottles, five beautiful cheeses, and one wicked prosciutto in the heart of the Old World – Italy. You’ll notice that some of the wines pair well with several cheeses. You didn’t think Italian wines were only seeing one cheese, did you?
