    This is a great recipe, I’m sure it is extremely tasty. What other type of wine would you recommend?

    You and I have similar tastes. I love the exact Zins that you describe as your favorites. Enjoyed the speed taste and love the video lenght. Great work. IMO you didn't offend Rednecks or White Zin enough! LOL How would this compare to my all time trusty Zin buddy Seghesio?

    I am a big fan of Seghesio's wines especially like their Italian style wines like the Arneis, Fiano, Aglianico and Sangiovese. As far as the zin's go I think I prefer this Stuhmuller Estate Zin, it is just so damn complex and balanced.
    Thanks for the support and keep wine'ing!

    Hey Chris… completely agree with you on the Zin/Pinot comparison. Everyone talks about how delicate and fragile the pinot grape is and how tough it is to make a solid Pinot Noir… I think the same is true for Zinfandel. 90% of those out there are jammy, in-your-face, alcohol bombs…. with very few that are balanced and to my liking. Personally, I'm searching for the Neve Campbell of Zinfandels… but hey, that's just me.

    Neil… The Neve Campbell of Zins huh?! I think I could go for that too. Thanks for the comment and let's keep searching. Let me know what you find.

    Cheers!

Holiday Wines- sure to awaken you from your mono-varietal zombie state

Here are three wines that I think should be on your holiday list, if not on your table. If you are looking for the old school predictable holiday wine recommendation I suggest you look elsewhere.

Global #PortDay 2012

This day is an opportunity for not only producers, but wine educators, geeks, blogs, mainstream media, and the general public to put down their Cabernet and Chardonnay and join in a global celebration and education centered around Port.

Global #ChampagneDay October 28th 2011 – A Thank You

Global #ChampagneDay October 28th 2011 – A Thank You

The 2nd annual 2011 installment of #ChampagneDay was off to a roaring start. I received too many email to count from countless individuals, wine educators, businesses and producers on how they could participate. What excited me most about this is that many wanted to host events and organize get-together in their local area, which was exactly what I had envisioned for this day all along, people getting together to celebrate, educate, enjoy, and most of all build relationships. I was fortunate to hosted an event with Master Sommelier Andrea Immer Robinson here in Napa at the Westin Verasa.

The ‘tastes like chicken’ phenomenon that is killing terroir!

The ‘tastes like chicken’ phenomenon that is killing terroir!

Is it not time that we do the lesser known regions and the new world wine world the favor of stopping the comparisons to their old world brethren? After all, the only thing that truly taste like chicken is chicken!…

Cuban Picadillo and Saffron Yellow Rice

Cuban Picadillo and Saffron Yellow Rice

This is an old family recipe that my grandmother used to treat us to when we lived in Florida and reminds me of the rich Cuban traditions that were such a big part of my culinary awakening and that still continue to influence me. Invite some friends over grab a couple or three bottles of wine (see my recommendations below) and spoil them with this dish; you will be the talk of the supper club circuit.
