Wine Time

We haven't blogged in so long. It's a shame. We have been having so many classes, that time for blogging has been obsolete. Lately we have been having some beautiful Value Wines and Old World Wines. One in particular, that seems to be the class favorite, is the Domaine du Gros Pata, Cuvee Sabine. It is a Cotes-Du-Rhone. It is imported by one of our our from right here in SLC, Peter Grisley. We highly recommend it.

Sheral's Trip to France 2010

Hello Everyone:

Cheers to a successful wine and food education experience starting in France tomorrow. The first part of my trip will be spent in Bordeaux for the Master of Wine Symposium, "Forging Links." I will be traveling with my two friends, Ellen and Patricia for the Bordeaux experience. Before the symposia begins, we will take a side trip to Cahors to taste some Malbec wines. Now off to the Delta direct flight to Charles DeGaule airport.
More soon!

Wine News

We had a really great class at Harmon's Culinary Institute on Saturday- Rieslings from Around the World.  We had three new world and three old world Rieslings.  California-Trefethen, Washington-Columbia Crest, and Australia-Pewsey Vale.  We also had the Trimbach from Alsace,  Saarstein from Germany, and the Meulenhof from Germany.  The new world wines were all 2007 vintage.  The Saarstein was a 2004 and the Meulenhof was a 2005.  The cheeses we had were a french feta, Humboldt Fog, Tallegio, Mt. Tam, and Apricot Stilton.  According to our class participants, the winners of the evening were the Saarstein and the Meulenhof and the feta and Stilton.  Of course Chef Bob Bryant prepared an out of this world trout in a green-apple horseradish sauce, spicy Asian shrimp, and cajun chicken which trumped everything!

We are also having a class coming up on Sunday the 18th through University of Utah Lifelong Learning, which will be stellar- Wines of the small villages of the Cotes du Rhone!  Check it out, it will be fabulous with lots of great information.

Cheers!

Hello From Sheral

I am very honored to begin my first blog on the subject of Provence.  I traveled to Provence in June 2009 with the French Wine Society to learn about the wines of one of my favorite wine regions.  I changed my drinking habits to include the dry Rose wines of the South of France, and learned about the foods that are complimented by these salmon-colored quaffers.  I was invited to the home of some new friends in Marseilles, where I learned first-hand  how to make Ratatouille and Soupe Pistou.  I will share some recipes, as well as news about the Roses of Provence, when I get back.  While I am here in Washington DC studying with the French Wine Society, I will share some pictures with you!

Salut!
Sheral
