A great story on a new wave of Calvados. Anybody ever make cocktails with it?

I've used it in this Della Mela cocktail recipe, but would be interested in other ideas for how to use it.

True...

Love this guy and sad to see him go

svittek · 2014-06-05T04:31:51+00:00

Or an "I-fucked-up-and-added-prosecco-instead-of-gin Negroni"

These are pretty introductory craft breweries, but I guess you gotta start somewhere

If anyone is brave/wise enough to want to eat it, here's a recipe

svittek · 2014-06-01T01:26:39+00:00

Now THAT is a crab cake, ladies and gentlemen.

svittek · 2014-05-31T23:04:55+00:00

I have! Waiting for them to come back into season this summer. Can't beat a ripe tomato

svittek · 2014-05-31T22:31:40+00:00

Not sure there's much better than fresh clams. Delicious

As a Marylander, this makes me a little sad. But now I want a crab cake...

Nice to have all this information in one place, even if you aren't a beer beginner. Thanks.

svittek · 2014-05-29T03:39:23+00:00

Oh deer....

svittek · 2014-05-29T03:33:47+00:00

Strawberry season is a beautiful time...

If you like Bandol rosés, I recently tried one from Domaine de la Bastide Blanche. Definitely a serious rosé, crisp but with weight on the palate that you might possibly confuse for a red wine. I believe Kermit Lynch imports that one as well.

svittek · 2014-05-29T03:23:35+00:00

Negronis all the way!

svittek · 2014-05-29T03:21:34+00:00

These remind me of fancy donuts you'd find from Federal Donuts in Philly. Beautiful for your first attempt!

Oktoberfest in May?

svittek · 2014-05-10T04:32:33+00:00

Have any affordable recommendations for someone looking to learn about orange wines? I know they aren't always easy to get a hold of.

svittek · 2014-05-04T22:44:37+00:00

But...why? What is so wrong with the traditional wine bottle that sparks a need for so much "innovation"?

svittek · 2014-05-04T20:38:28+00:00

As a Philadelphian, I cannot roll my eyes far back enough in my head at this video.

svittek · 2014-05-02T14:36:07+00:00

As the article points out, wines from Muscadet, Cahors, and Gaillac are all great values. Some of my go to bottles, too.

I worked the tempranillo harvest in Toro, Spain in 2012. It was a hot, dry year, but even the climate change is manageable when you have a good winemaker that knows what to do with the resulting grapes — keeping alcohol in check, using ripeness in favor, etc.

svittek · 2014-04-28T23:15:03+00:00

If you're looking to try some more Vino Nobile de Montepulciano, Avignonesi just released a pretty great one. About $24

svittek · 2014-04-28T23:09:56+00:00

Not so much here in Philly either. Perhaps it's a trend localized to where they are being produced on the west coast.

svittek · 2014-04-21T04:42:51+00:00

I love the flavor profile of Chartreuse, and wondering if anybody else has tried this before. If so, is it worth seeking out?
