Let’s talk winning tickets, shall we? First, my dear human random number generator, B., picked Brandy from Nutmeg Nanny to receive Nicole’s The Baking Bites Cookbook . Congrats! Send me a quick email and I’ll pass the info along. Now on to this cake… I know I am going to jinx it. I just know it. Maybe if I whisper it very...
Another really good day today. Began with a helicopter flight over the region to get a good sense of where everything is, together with some other journalists. We landed at Carrick for a masterclass on the various varieties and subregions, as well as a vertical tasting led by Rudi Bauer. This was followed by lunch. It was a brilliantly informative...
This is an interesting wine. It’s one that will divide people, depending on their tolerance for and acceptance of Brettanomyces (the ’spoilage’ yeast that’s relatively common in red wines, and which contibutes an earthy, spicy, medicinal, animally quality).

For starters, they change every year, sometimes substantially. Are companies really transformed so much over the course of a year that they fall from, say, No. 2 to No. 13? Still,...
Ah the weekend! I love this time of year when we are all gearing up for the holidays and getting crafty . I’ve been quite busy with work which really feels like play so I am far from complaining but I have had little time to put together a proper post. It’s been over a week since I candied, shot and ate the kumquats in the picture...
It’s getting to the time when the resolutions of the new year are starting to waiver. Most people are back at work. The holidays seem like a distant memory. Old habits are creeping back in.
