  Chardonnay is an ideal wine to pair with many grilled foods. For one thing, it’s immensely popular—I have friends who prefer it to anything else.

The salty, fatty flavors of the fried and refreshing, sparkling feeling of the drink are still attractive traits, but we need a luxury upgrade to match those pearls and stilettoes!  Triple-cooked sweet-potato fries with truffle mayo paired with champagne tend to ge...

  “This dish returns to our Wallsé menu each Spring and stays until the early summer season. Cherries and Fava beans peak during this time of year and these classic Austrian ingredients are unexpectedly combined with lobster and Béarnairse to give a fresh and fruity seasonal dish with hints of Austria. This unique pairing is a great example of che... Read More

  Cafe Katja,  owned and operated by Chefs Erwin Schroettner and Andrew Chase, is located in the heart of NYC’s Lower East Side. Cafe Katja is a rustic, homey gem modeled after the year-end farmer’s markets, Buschenschanks.

  Thought it would be a great idea for us to take part in trading some of our favorite wines to each other this holiday season. Something in the $30 - 40+ range retail sounds about right (best if found at cheaper/cheapest retailer), and the wines should be ready to drink now so we can all post about our impressions of the wines we were given, but ...

  Old Parr Golden Age Queen Elizabeth Limited Edition

  Snoothrank:

  This limited edition whiskey is golden brown with hints yellow. The nose has strong scents of honey, raisins, cinnamon, and citrus with malty background notes. Slightly sweet on the palate but with lots of malt and dried fruit flavors and a layer of smoke near the end. A dry, smooth, long finish with slightly sweet drop-off. Read More
