What should I do if the cork breaks while I'm opening a bottle of wine? Well I can assure you that this is certainly nothing to get worked up about. If the cork breaks in half (with one half still in the bottle) simply re-apply the corkscrew and have another shot at it. But this time insert the cork on an angle you'll have better luck recovering the rest of the cork this way. Now don't worry if there are some tiny bits of cork in the wine, you can simply pour the wine through filter such as a coffee filter or paper towel and pay no concern to the one or two pieces that escape filtration. If on the other hand you find that the cork has become so mutilated so much so that you cannot pull out the rest right it off as a lost cause and just push it into ...READ MORE

“What I'm digging this week“ - Reuben Quesadillas Although I'm almost religious about always using the freshest ingredients for peak season flavor, it's the week after St. Patrick's Day, we've got leftovers and I'm also a "waste not want not" believer! So guess what I am digging this week? After some thought, I like a great deli sandwich as much as the next Chef, but how about something a little different? Darcy has been playing with homemade cracker recipes recently and it got me thinking this a great opportunity to make Rye tortillas. So let's depart from the traditional and enjoy my New American spin on a classic deli sandwich and have Reuben Quesadillas for lunch! QUESADILLAS Serves 4-6 16-24 ounces ...READ MORE

Is it ok to chill red wines? Yes and in most cases it should be chilled. This is of course if you don't have a proper cellar that's keeping your red wines at a nice 55-58 degree temperature. It's a common misconception that red wines should never be chilled and only served at room temperature ....which would be correct I suppose if you lived in Europe where in many places the average room temperature is around the cellar temperature. However here in the U.S. average room temperature ranges between 70 and 75. It's always better to serve red wine on the cool side, even cooler than you think it should be. Serving a red wine slightly chilled is helpful in calming that peppery or prickly sensation that ...READ MORE

Do those wine aerators really work? Wine aerators...do they really make a difference or are they just hyped up-sell useless wine gadgets more for show? We've all heard about those fancy and not-so-fancy little gadgets called "wine aerators" and I'm sure most wine enthusiasts have one or two of these hanging around in a kitchen drawer or cellar ready to be put into immediate action. I'll admit...I do but I only have one. I get asked often if these wine aerators truly work. Well let's first look at what an aerator is used for. The sole purpose of a wine aerator is to oxygenate big tannic wines. Aerating basically separates the wine as much as possible in order to provide a maximum contact of liquid ...READ MORE

Feeding the beast: Food for the rest of you Feeding the beast: Food for the rest of you Executive Chef Aaron Whitcomb makes gluten-free delectable for all Steve is not Celiac. In fact, he's what I call an ‘eat-anything-he-wants-when-he-wants-to' kind of guy. He never thinks twice about ordering a deli sandwich on a freshly baked Kaiser roll, or starting his meal with a piece of French bread with a layer of sweet butter. He devours his pizza and his pasta, his bagels and his burgers. And, home-baked cookies are a sure-fire way to his heart. I, on the other hand, am afraid of all the things Steve ‘eats-when-he-wants.' My fears began as a child when I would judge the caliber of my days - whether good or bad - ...READ MORE

Wine Word “Firm“ A wine that is decribed as "firm" typically attacks the palate with acid or tannic astringency suggesting the wine is young and will age. In most cases this is a ositive comment and is very desirable with highly flavoured foods.
