2005 Chateau-Grillet Vin Blanc, Rhone Valley, France

52a4abbb20rillet.jpg 34x150 2005 Chateau Grillet Vin Blanc, Rhone Valley, France

With just a quick glance at the bottle, you might think to yourself, “Oh, it’s just some random little white wine from somewhere in France.” After all, it’s just a Vin Blanc with some unfamiliar name on it. But look a little closer, and you might start to get the idea that this isn’t just any wine. For starters, the bottle is somewhat unusual, resembling something you might see in Germany or Austria. Indeed, it would be easy to mistake this wine as coming from the Alsace region of France for that reason. A slightly more studied glance at the label will reveal, however, that this wine hails not from Alsace, but from… Chateau-Grillet, which happens to be the name of both the winery, and the AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée), or appellation, where the wine is made. This place, the winery that provides its name, and the wine produced there are part of one of the more unique stories in French wine. Just ask Thomas Jefferson, who played hooky from his diplomatic duties while in France in order to make a detour to the winery and it’s 9 acres of vineyards and the little white wine that even then was regarded as one of the best in the world. Just a…

Cupcake Tips from Babette of BakeSpace

I was browsing the internet and found this post on Babette’s Feast of cupcake baking tips. I agree with a lot of these tips, but I suggest you follow the baking directions on the recipe as well. Converting a cake recipe to make cupcakes: A recipe for a 2-layer cake makes about 24 regular-sized cupcakes or 60 mini-cupcakes. Working with Cupcake Liners: When using foil cups, remove the paper liners (if included) before filling and baking. The liners are included simply to help separate the thin foil cups. Filling Cupcakes: Fill liners 2/3 full with batter (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup regular sized and 2 tablespoons for mini cups). The easiest way to pour is to fill a small storage bag or a large funnel — both work great for controlling batter while pouring. If you’re making large cupcakes, you may want to lightly grease the edges of the pan to prevent the batter from sticking. Baking with Silicone Cupcake Cups : Try preparing cups with non-stick pan spray before baking. Always place cups on a cookie sheet or sheet pan for level baking and easy removal from oven. You may need to add more baking time for some shapes. To remove cupcakes, turn upside down and apply gentle pressure to the bottom while gently …

Homemade Glazed Doughnuts

22aebe40a378196c 150x99 Homemade Glazed Doughnuts

Let me begin this post by saying how excited I am to share this doughnut recipe with you. What can I say? Doughnuts are exciting. They thrill me to the bone. Second, let me lay one thing out on the table: Making good, raised doughnuts at home is not as easy as you’d think . For years (yes, you heard me) I tried in vain to make the perfect homemade doughnut—not just a fat, bready wad of fried dough with a sweet glaze, but a delicate, light ring of love with a slightly crispy surface and a wonderful flavor. Like “those doughtnuts”, and I don’t mean Krispy Kreme. I mean the doughnuts sold at the tiny doughnut dive in our small town. They’re the best raised doughnuts in the world. The shop is owned by an older resident of our town whose temperament can range from kind, welcoming, and gracious to a complete mirror of a certain soup purveyor in a certain long-running series starring a certain man with the last name of Seinfeld. Think I’m kidding? The doughnut guy in our town once made my summer babysitter…

Ask the Internet: Pink Foods and Recipes?

cd579dd75frcake 120x150 Ask the Internet: Pink Foods and Recipes?

Today’s hue-larious (sorry) question comes from reader Eleonora: Q: I have a girls’ night in coming up and I would like to have some PINK food on the table! So far I have apple and beetroot juice (purchased, perhaps not that cheap at £3 per bottle) and beetroot risotto. Maybe something based on prawns? Rhubarb? Ideas welcome! A: Wow. This one’s a toughy. Red foods are fairly easy to come by, but pink ones are a little harder. Strawberry Mousse would definitely work as a dessert, and this Summer Borscht could make a good starter course. Red cabbage has more of a purple tint, but mixed with apples it might lighten up. I wonder if you could make Ina Garten’s Orange Yogurt with a little pomegranate juice? (If all else fails, a pack of McCormick’s neon food coloring can work wonders. Pink eggs, anyone?) Readers, how about you? Do you know of any pink foods for Eleonora? The comment section is ready and waiting. Want to ask the interweb a question? Post one in the comment section, or write to Cheaphealthygood@gmail.com. Then, tune

Six Years of Vinography

Have you ever forgotten your own birthday? It just occurred to me yesterday that while I wasn’t looking last week, the 6th anniversary of this blog’s beginning came and went. It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed since I first started tapping away here in my corner of the wine web. The last six years have been a wonderful exploration of my own passion for wine, and a fabulous experience of interacting with a growing body of readers. While Vinography has garnered many accolades and awards, I am most proud of the quality of thought and writing that my readers bring to their comments here. After six years (and as of 9:53 PM tonight) you’ve responded to me and to each other 12,804 times. The conversations represented by those comments in some cases are way better than the ramblings or rants that provoked them, and in all cases are examples of some of the most thoughtful and civilized wine conversation to be found anywhere on the Internet. So while I have much to celebrate after six years as a passionate-consumer-turned…

Sup’s! Sources: Surfing Specialty Sustenance

a6258e93dctils 0 150x150 Sups! Sources: Surfing Specialty Sustenance

Garlic Sausage with Green Lentils Eating in truly exceptional restaurants is one of life’s great joys in my opinion. Fortunately I live in Los Angeles where there is no shortage of such establishments. But for a variety of reasons (such as the state of my wallet) you can’t always indulge yourself in this manner. Still, sometimes you want to eat something special. Something particular. Maybe it’s a regional specialty that you are craving. Perhaps it contains some unusual or hard to find ingredients. These are the times it pays to be a decent cook. But even decent cooks can get slammed up against the wall because when you crave something particular, something unusual there is the likely possibility that the corner market is not gonna carry all the items you need. How are you gonna make your particular culinary dream come true? You could always improvise. There is a certain joy in creating something out of nothing. You could substitute a few anchovys for the Colatura di Alici in that special pasta you flipped over in that little seaside village south of Rome. You’d feel great, the pasta would be delicious, but deep inside…

Veggie Might: Palak Paneer – World Curry Tour ‘10

f621d3db09paneer 150x114 Veggie Might: Palak Paneer – World Curry Tour ‘10

Penned by the effervescent Leigh, Veggie Might is a weekly Thursday column about the wide world of Vegetarianism. Last we left World Curry Tour ‘09, I was experimenting with asafetida and curry leaves alongside my imaginary mentor, Madhur Jaffrey . Well, it’s a brand new year and it’s time get the band back together. Last week, I showed you how to make easy-and-delicious paneer with just milk and a little lime juice. Now, let’s put the cheese of that labor into its proper place: palak paneer, courtesy of Mahanandi , shared by the delightful Anand. Palak paneer is the classic North Indian spinach and cheese dish ubiquitous in Indian restaurants across America. It’s (generally) mild, always delicious, and can be healthier than the cheese suggests. This recipe is spicier than most restaurant versions (as my charming dinner guest [CDG] will testify), so cut back on the chilies if you want less heat. For this recipe, I used homemade paneer made with 2% milk and substituted the ghee (clarified butter) with a splash of canola oil. The original recipe also called for optional …
