As some of you know, I’m in the process of helping to write a book. It’s not my book, per se, but I’m one of a group of authors that are helping to create a massive global wine atlas that will cover the world’s major wine regions. I’m the guy in charge of Sonoma and Marin counties. I’ve spent the last couple months doing a lot of tasting, a lot of digging through my past tasting notes, and a lot of reaching out to wineries to verify addresses, etc. And what I’ve experienced in the process is quite shocking. The American wine marketplace has changed and is changing dramatically. I can’t speak with full authority about the global marketplace, but I suspect some of the same changes are occurring everywhere. The way that people learn about, buy, and experience wine is changing, thanks to both demographic trends and technology evolution, as well as fundamental shifts in the distribution, marketing, and economics of the wine industry. What this all means for the wine world is not fully clear, but one key fact has begun to be quite apparent. In order to survive, wineries are going to have to fundamentally re-think who their customers actually are, especially here in the United States. Since the beginning of the…

Our Nasty Bits columnist is on a road trip down south! Today she checks in with us with thoughts on a Southern offal delicacy. [Photograph: Chichi Wang] “I’ll take a plate of your chit-ter-lings, please,” I told my waitress. “What was tha’, sugar?” she replied. I paused, then thought better. “I mean, your chit-linz,” I said. “Oh, the chiltlins!” she said in a moment of recognition. “Sure thing, hon.” Chitterlings, or chitlins, are pork intestines in Southern soul food cookery. And that conversation? Just took place in the South. Atlanta, Georgia, to be exact. I’m on a quest for the most barbeque-lickin’, pie-dishin’, offal-lovin’ joints across the grand old American south. I’ve dived into plates of deep-fried chicken livers, gnawed on trotters, and nibbled my way through plates of stewed oxtail. But chitterlings have been the most memorable nasty bit so far. Both in function and flavor, chitlins can be appropriately described as nasty. There’s the all-important task of ridding the organ of its fecal smell, bringing along with it the taste of something not quite civilized. While I’ve feasted on many a pork stomach, the intestines pose a greater challenge for the cook given their particular…

I’m tired of living in a chicken world and I really wish someone would do something about it. You know what I mean, it doesn’t matter what anything tastes like anymore because we immediately compare it to chicken. Ask any of your friends if they had anything slightly out of the ordinary at a restaurant recently and then ask them to describe the taste, ” Well it tasted a bit like chicken ! “. It seems to me that the universal taste bar throughout the gastronomic world is chicken with everything tasting better than or worse than chicken, saltier or sweeter than chicken, more tender or tougher than chicken, richer or milder than chicken, the comparisons are not only endless but mindless since most chicken tastes of bugger all. Our friends in the wine fraternity take their tasting a little bit more seriously and despite all the flowery language and slurping and spitting at least they do not use chicken as their standard – yes it’s got a fruity nose, long on the aftertaste and reminds me a little of coq au vin. No, they have a much more scientific approach with their tasting notes…

I’m very excited about this month’s Spotted interview. I not only dined at the famous Fleurs Place , but I got to meet Fleur Sullivan herself. She is somewhat of a culinary celebrity, and any foodie from NZ will know who Fleur is. As I mentioned in my last post, Fleurs Place became known in other parts of the world when British chef and food writer, Rick Stein, picked Fleurs Place after he was told he could go anywhere in the world to write a travel article. Stein was right on the money. Fleurs Place is a charming restaurant with exceptional food. This month’s Spotted interview is at Fleurs Place , Moeraki, New Zealand. Where are you from: Waitaki River, New Zealand. Waitaki is the new wine growing area. Favorite ingredient to cook with: Any food of the region. In this case, it would be fish. I had a restaurant for 20 years before Fleur’s and the only reason I created Fleurs restaurant was because of the fresh fish. Most memorable dining experience: Ham and eggs with a lid on top. It was something different, and even the place was different. The walls were covered with Bohemian Dutch scarves. Another experience was…

From Recipes Like Arthur Schwartz , author of The Southern Italian Table , I grew up in a Jewish household. Schwartz was flanked by Italian neighbors in the apartment building where he grew up, exposing him at a young age to the joys of not only Jewish food but also to Southern Italian cuisine. Not being blessed with Italian friends or neighbors, my experience with Italian food was limited to jarred red sauce and turkey meatballs up until the time I made my first trip to Italy. I am a bit hesitant to admit that until that point my experience with sausage was limited to a frozen breakfast link or two, eaten with my (non-kosher) grandparents during vacation. As you would likely assume, the first real Italian sausages I ate were mind-blowing. Watching the butchers hand-stuff the casings, detecting the subtle differences from shop to shop, grilling them in a wood-fired stove, I was a quick sausage convert. This recipe for Sausage Canapés is a great way to showcase especially fresh and well-spiced sausage. In this preparation the pork is just cooked through, and the juices are absorbed by the bread below, rendering it infinitely porky and delicious. The recipe calls for sweet sausage, but I think that the hot version would do just as…
