In a few cases the these numbers did slide up and down a notch. Bottom line, it is interesting to see how Norton vineyards are maturing. So many vineyards, so many miles to travel . . . . . . .    (hide)

  considering it is hotter than sin down here in Alabama, while normally an avid red drinker, I would prefer a good firestone Reisling or Gewertz. They would go well with a scorching sun and an umbrella.

  Alabama; still illegal for direct shipment. I'll be in New Orleans next week and will look there and have been told that stores in Atlanta (about 2 hrs. away) can get it. That will be an option if I can't find a comparable bottle. Cheers, John

Read moreItaly and the American South are two regions with strong traditions of the ... areas in his Birmingham, Alabama restaurant Bottega and in his gorgeously illustrated cookbook Bottega Favorita. He's a man inspired, and believes that the comforting nature of Southern food is a perfect mate to the elegantly humble foodways of Italy. "Cooking from an Italian point of view is a little like going back to a more ancient style of cooking—elemental and primal in its purity and simplicity, where an unadorned slice of rosy prosciutto is savored with a meltingly tender ripe purple fig", he says in the introduction to Bottega Favorita. Frank will bring this cuisine to life in The Study, where he'll prepare classics from the restaurant while talking you through the techniques of his cuisine and his choice of ingredients. Additionally, each course he serves will be paired with a wine from Rosenthal Wine Merchants, a merchant of wines selected for concentration, purity of flavors, and clarity of expression and produced in as natural a manner as possible, and a favorite supplier of wine to all of Chef Stitt's restaurants. In addition to a meal of dishes cooked in front of your eyes and carefully chosen wines, a copy of Bottega Favorita ($40.00 retail) is included in the ticket price, and an opportunity for personalization will be provided.
