Restaurants in Mendocino, CA

[Ask MetaFilter | Community Weblog] I went there for dinner on my honeymoon, so I can tell you it is a suitably romantic and memorable setting. My wife and I liked it so much that we returned a bit over a year later to stay at the Inn.

Sugar High Friday: Ginger

[SpittoonExtra: Food, Photographs, EBBP and Foodography.] To the pears - allow two pears per person for a generous person, so in this case four, peel and dice them and simmer in a pan for about 10 minutes with 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (I also added some juice from a squeezed piece of ginger), a teaspoon of lemon zest, 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup (I added a big splash) of the dessert wine and 2-4 tablespoons granulated sugar. The cookbook has an optional addition of vanilla bean seeds but I added a little vanilla essence to some whipped cream and served that on top.

Variety show

[Dr. Vino's wine blog] Continuing our theme of talking about grape varieties this week (wait, when did that become a theme?), one of the best resources out there is, surprisingly, Appellation America. It's surprising since there are two main ways to talk about wine, one using the grape variety and the other, the region where the grapes are grown.

A kinder sauvignon blanc

[Tricia Colianne's wine blog: Vin. Vini. Vino. (I came. I saw. I drank.)] It's the sidekick wine that's suddenly found itself holding court. After its good friend chardonnay took a bit of a tumble in the popularity contest, sauvignon blanc slid right in there, and good for it.

Mendocino journal: Mendocino, CA

[ Travel Blogs | International Travel Tips | Online Travel Guides Ã¢â‚¬“ RealTravel] This trip was originally 19 people and 4 cars (oddly enough, I knew all of these people very well considering my short time in SF), but fate decided that this was too big a group so we got split up without cell phone service to get back in touch with each other. We met up in Mill Valley, some people late for our 9am meeting, which already took us to a rough start. Nick's vehicle didn't even remember our first meeting point and skipped it entirely...

Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico 2003

[Wino sapien] Whilst it is approachable, and there are drying tannins and a tobacco taste which I usually find appealing, it lacks acid and the tannins are unsatisfying and not as well handled as the Badiola that I had last week. It is broad and also mildly but notably brett affected.

Ancient Coast Ice Wine - Wining Me is Cheaper than Dining Me

[the delicious life] It would have to be 3 am on a Wednesday morning for me to brave traffic more than twice to go to the market to buy dinner ingredients and then play Red Light, Green Light along Santa Monica Boulevard around the 405 freeway to go to The Wine House. I hate traffic that much, and the congestion that builds up right there in that 5 block radius would make me so insane that by the time I actually got to the Wine House, I'd down two bottles right there in the store.
