Crash Course in Cooking with Wine

Ever tried cooking with wine and it turned out really bad? Well, I just came across an article that may give your recipes that call for vino a little boost. The piece, which ran on Post Crescent's website today, gives a number of helpful hints and even a few recipes to get you on your way. Here's a bit of what the chef being interviewed had to say:

"For chef and wine aficionado Thom England, a culinary instructor at Ivy Tech Community College in Indianapolis, knowing which wine to use in which dish means considering flavor, acidity and bitterness."

The author interviews a few different people for the article, and mentions that it's often a good idea to serve the wine you use to cook with the first course. If you've been looking for an out-there pork chop recipe that pairs well with wine, you're in for a treat. Follow the link for compete details.

Hi I've been reading your blog and just wanted to extend an invitation to you.

My name is Gregory Dal Piaz and
I have recently been hired as the Community Manager here at Snooth.com. As such I am working not only to grow the community activity on our site but am also planning a series of events for Snooth members. These will range from free in-store tastings much like what one typically finds in retail stores to wine dinners featuring extensive vertical and horizontal tastings and even the occasional winemaker.

Some highlights of upcoming events include; a 10-year after blind retrospective tasting of 1998 Barolo, a series of tastings focusing on wines from one of Californias golden ages with line-ups that will include wine such as Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 1975- 1984 and Mondavi Reserve Cabernet from 1975-1981.

I am also working on assembling a panel to blind taste new release wines that will include both wine professionals and amateurs from the ranks of our Snooth members. As a blogger with an interest in food and wine you are an ideal person to partner with for the promotion of, participation in and reporting on these types of events. I look forward to speaking with you and hope that you can become a member of Snooth.com and benefit from these events.



Thanks for your time.
