Savor the Art ~ Wine and Art Auction

Here's a date now on my calendar, Saturday, October 6, 2007 Savor the Art, Wine and Art Auction

This event combines Art ("Art") and Wine ("Wine"). Two of my favorite subjects. Savor the Art 2007 will be at Terra Blanca Winery in Benton City. Guests will be greeted with a souvenir wine glass and a taste of wonderful wine. A "Broadway" style welcome will great guests for an elegant exhibition unique to Eastern Washington.

Chef Frank Magana will provide gourmet appetizers focusing on the bounty of the area. In a unique silent auction and limited live auction, pairings of wine, wine country experiences and art will be featured as guests sip and sample. More entertainment precedes the live auction.

Tickets are $40 per person and can be purchased here, www.wineyakimavalley.org/events/eventsD.asp?evid=284.

Three Albariños and Several Food Pairings | Taste Rías Baixas

As promised, more reviews of  Albariño wines from Rías Baixas.  My previous post ( My Favorite White Wines this Summer are from DO Rias Baixas ), I emphasized more traditional food pairings, grilled shrimp, Ceviche, and watermelon. This time, I wanted to try some different pairings to see how well Albariño wines would match. I love seafood, but I was curious about the flexibility of this variety. My test pairings began with a series of mini quiche I made at home, spinach, hamburger, tomato, dill and steak. Following are my tastings notes on the wines and the food pairing results. Results were mixed. Map of DO Rías Baixas and sub-zones. While twelve grape varieties are permitted in DO Rías Baixas, the white Albariño grape represents 96% of all plantings.

Bright acidity, refreshing citrus flavors and that compelling salinity which in...

Review: Sho Chiku Bai, Unfiltered Sake

Last month in Seattle, I purchased a bottle of Nigori sake at Uwajimaya. Uwajimaya is one of the largest Asian grocery retailers in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve been visiting Uwajimaya for almost 40 years. When I was much younger, I’d buy model ship and plane kits, Japanese comic books (manga) and I never left without at least one steaming Humbow in hand. Today I buy the manga for my son; while I still enjoy the tasty steamed Humbows, now I never leave without at least one bottle of Sake in hand. Uwajimaya has a terrific selection of imported sake. This most recent visit, I left with a bottle of Sho Chiku Bai Nigori sake. Nigori sake is generally the sweetest of all sakes, with a fruity nose and a mild flavor, making a great drink to complement spicy foods or as a dessert wine. Typical sake is usually filtered to remove grain solids left behind after the fermentation process; however Nigori sake remains unfiltered, resulting in a cloudier beverage. Before serving, the bottle ...
