CoWineCo Gets Daily Candied

[la.foodblogging] Do the cheeky and informative newsletters dry up, replaced by cut n’ pasted wine descriptions off the internets? Does the well-curated series of Cole Gerst concert posters come down to make room for wall-mounted write-ups from the Los Angeles Times and Wine Spectator? Will Colorado Wine Company’s Sunday, Bubbly Sunday and Beauty and the Beast tastings be supplanted by a regularly scheduled “Wednesday Wines of the World with the Nugents?”

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

[wait til i tell ye] spent a very pleasant journey home reading a book by a man who wasn't me: He is also a former Irish Travel Writer of the Year and a former Mexican Government European Travel Writer of the Year, although he’s still trying to work out exactly what that means. He writes about travel regularly for the Daily Telegraph and the Independent on Sunday.

[Avenue Vine] Wine From the Atlantic Coast of France and Morocco--Through the Mediterranean to Near the Red Sea: The article chronicles a recent twenty day trip through the birth place of wine. Burke was our instructor last Sunday at Copia: the American Center for Wine, Food & the Arts in Napa. There, at Copia, he is the associate curator of wine. He teaches classes there at copia and should you have the privlage to attend one of his session you will walk away well wrewarded.

[Jefffromaustin.nomadlife.org] Jeff from Austin's Blog: Painful / Fun / Informative / Fun Weekend: Early Saturday night, me an one of my good friends/former RA, Mithun, traveled over to Westlake to Cristen's Dad's house to watch the movie Control Room. Along the way, we picked up a shitload of food from the Chick-fil-a that sucessfully evaded Mithun a few years ago. Damn suburban planning / strip malls. Anyway, Claire, Sarah, Agnes, Surya, and Kirk joined us for a damn good movie about the Arab news station Al-Jazeria.

[Becomingachef.com] Food, Wine and Restaurant Blog of Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page ...: The Squash Blossom Quesadillas ($8) balanced sensual creaminess with crunchiness. But our real discovery was the Ensalada de Noche ($9), with fresh greens tossed with crisp calamari, jicama, banana, lacquered pecans, and chili lime crema — which Andrew swears is his "Dish of the Year." We skipped the excellent margaritas (which takes some effort, given that the restaurant describes itself as "Cocina Mexicana & Tequila Bar") in favor of enjoying an impromptu tasting of two different Rieslings offered by the glass — a sweeter German, and a drier New Zealand, both delicious. The cinnamon-dusted churros served for dessert are the most delicate we've ever tasted, and are served with two different dipping sauces. From the haute cuisine she cut her teeth on at La Caravelle to her New World influences at Jimmy's Downtown, Japngie's distinguished resume is apparent in the cuisine she serves in this fun, energetic setting.
