Maverick Southern Kitchens :: Back to the Basics- Tasting Wine & Terms |
|
Feb 08, 2010 - 3:40 PM - by admin
|
To begin Winter Wine Fest’s take over of the Maverick blog, we will be offering tips on tasting wine and a lesson on wine terms. We’ll be covering a variety of topics this month, including: tips on wine pairing, decanting, bubbles, preserving wine and more!
How to Taste Wine
Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes, but there is much more to wine than this basic definition. Wine tasting can be a very complex process, so this post is aimed to simplify the process. All words in italics are defined in the both section entitled Wine Terms 101.
The three basic steps of wine tasting are appearance, smell and taste.
First, pour a taste (1-2 oz.) into a glass, swirl and observe the clarity and color of the wine. Red wines tend to get lighter with age; where as, white wines usually get darker. Swirling a wine glass allows air to blend with the wine, opening up both the smell and taste. Check out the “legs,” or wine viscosity, which run down the sides of the glass when swirled. The slower the legs move in the glass, the more dense the flavor.
Then, swirl the wine and smell its aromas and nose. Identify the aromas of the grapes, such as floral, spicy or fruity and then work your way to more detailed aromas like raspberry, tobacco and fig. Below is a helpful chart to help you navigate the... [Read More]

Super Bowl Pick ? Tuscan Wings

This years the Super Bowl is being held in Miami which is about 90 minutes north of where I now live in Palm Beach Gardens. South Florida will definitely be jumping as thousands are flocking to the area and events are taking place from Palm Beach County all the way down to Miami. As much as I wish was back in South Florida to take it all in ( 80 degree weather included) I can rest assured knowing that I will be eating and drinking well in good company with great friends and the man who has shown me how to have a*party*around food, Matt Ready.

Patrick Emerson’s Taste of New Zealand
Thursday, January 28th
I made it to New Zealand safely! We truly hit the ground running upon our arrival, but first about the journey. It was one of the longest and most grueling I have endured. 36 hours of taxis, planes and buses door-to-door. To fully understand New Zealand you have to realize how far away it is. It is literally on the other side of the world. When you cross the international date line in the South Pacific, you propel forward a day, so Wednesday, January 27th did not exist to me. We went straight into Thursday morning, landing in Auckland around 6am.
The only person I know from New Zealand is Matt Mitchell, winemaker for The Crossings winery who we hosted for a wine dinner at Slightly North of Broad a couple of weeks ago with Chef Bob Wagoner, and he was the first person I ran into when we were leaving baggage claim. Small world!!
Air New Zealand was wonderful and the people of New Zealand are equally so. Down-to-earth, calm, no nonsense, extremely friendly, straight-forward, generous (we are... [Read More]

INTRODUCING CUSTOM HOUSE TAVERN:
AN URBAN, AMERICAN TAVERN
Executive Chef Aaron Deal, along with Owners Sue and Peter Drohomyrecky, elevate the tavern experience in Chicago's South Loop
(CHICAGO; February 3, 2010)- Re-imagining the South Loop restaurant they opened in 2005, partners Sue Kim-Drohomyrecky and Peter Drohomyrecky, with new Executive Chef Aaron Deal, have created Custom House Tavern, celebrating urban American cuisine.
"It's an idea that's been ruminating in my head for the last couple of years," says owner Sue Kim-Drohomyrecky. "The idea was to let Custom House evolve into an urban American tavern; something upscale, comfortable and hearty offering two experiences: the refinement of our main dining room with its composed fine dining menu and the newly introduced casual, affordable menu in our lounge. "
This evolving philosophy supported by the new menus and a fresh culinary roster, is the cornerstone of Custom House Tavern, which debuts today, February 3, 2010, in the Printer's Row neighborhood... [Read More]

Blog :: Holly Herrick :: A Sweet Bite of Paris in Charleston |

Feb 03, 2010 - 5:24 PM - by admin

Third generation chocolatier and French native Christophe Paume and his business partner/wife Carly have brought a beautiful gift to Charleston. Opening their first store, Christophe Artisan Chocolatier-Patissier, nearly a year ago in Mount Pleasant, the young couple opened a second shop by the same name on King Street two months ago.
In so doing, they've brought a gorgeous bit of France home to roost in Charleston. The French take food and chocolate seriously. It is an art form for them, a way of nurturing body and soul. Paume makes chocolates more beautiful than I've ever seen in France - including the exquisite work of Pierre Herme - or anywhere in the world. His tempered delights receive hand-painted splashes of color from bright orange to deep lavender. They look like polished gems lined up in the tiny, ever-so-French shop on King Street, that charming Carly oversees. She'll hand-pick chocolates for you and delicately arrange them just so in their gorgeous red or chocolate-brown boxes.
But what to pick? An Earl Grey infused dark chocolate ganache painted robin's egg blue with tiny dots, lemon puree in a milk chocolate ganache painted sage green with pale brown speckles, or the lavender caramel with a dark chocolate shell wrapped around homemade caramel infused with lavender? Those are just three of over twenty choices, then there are the truffles and the chocolate sculptures. Of these, my... [Read More]
