 [Whowantsseconds.typepad.com] Who Wants Seconds?: WBW6: Beyerskloof Pinotage 2003: These would be the same tips that I read once, didn't print out, and promptly forgot when I was faced with a lot of bottles at my local Sainsbury's. The two employeess in the wine section couldn't help me at all, so my son and I got down on the floor and started perusing the bottles. I asked his opinion, he pointed to a bottle with a giraffe on it, and a lightbulb went off! Jeanne had warned about dreck with animal labels, so that eliminated about 1/3 of the bottles in front of us.

[Math Giraffe] The ordeal of the stick and other terrifying tales...: Everyone was drinking the more expensive drinks as they had been given two free drinks tickets each. The preferred tipples were Jack Daniels and white wine, though Smirnoff Ice and Brandy weren't far behind. There were quite a lot of people there in the end and

[Purple Pen] Does anyone know where I can get hold of a power a...: I never was a particualry assiduous, as the couple of my readers who've known me since unversity will attest. At school I got into very bad habits after dicovering that I could get the same grades or better by rushing my way through- one particularly memorable occasion involved my writing an essay on a book that I hadn't read because I hadn't been able to afford to buy it, but that a friend lent me on the day the essay had to be in. I got a very good mark, 17/20, and earned both the admiration and the jealousy of more nervous classmates.

[Feeds.lovesicily.com] Food Blogs Live! | Blogging in the Food World: Biodynamic viticulture is more than just a marketing tool, but more hard scientific evidence is required to prove some of its adherents’ claims. These were some of the conclusions reached by a panel of industry experts convened by the Institute of Masters of Wine for a seminar on the controversial practice in London last week.Harpers_Wine.com"biodynamic Alsace producer Olivier Humbrecht MW said that the role of biodynamic production was to ”˜produce the best wine, that is faithful and true to its origins”¦ people talk about sustainable viticulture, but I’m interested in the next 10,000 years, not just the next 10 years."Technorati...

[Feeds.lovesicily.com] Food Blogs Live! | Blogging in the Food World: The beauty of landing on a cooking technique that you love means that you can interchange the technique across many dishes.  My poached morel technique was going to certainly be the way I'd cook them, but I needed a more substantial main course.  I had some rigatoni, snap peas, tomato and pine nuts on hand.  After cooking the rigatoni, I added them to my morel infused poaching liquid to absorb their earthy flavors.  As you can see, I am passionately against oversaucing pasta.  Pasta sauce should used as a condiment, in my opinion. This morel pasta was to die for....

After-all I don’t want to ruffle feathers or be banished to the hen-house. (Did I use those puns last month?)

Hentie Swiegers, a molecular biologist at Adelaide's Australian Wine Research Institute, is examining whether selecting the right type of yeast can allow wine makers to create the best aroma for consumer tastes. TheAustralian.com.au"The aim is not necessarily to pump up the aromas every time," Dr Swiegers said. "It's about giving winemakers the knowledge to be able to create the aromas that the market responds to and usually associates with a wine style." Technorati Tags: wine  food & drink wine tasting...
