Wine in Scotland

February 8, 2010 – 8:51 am

There are wineries in England, a few in Wales and a vineyard has been planted in Scotland next to the Ardeonaig Hotel and Restaurant. According to the Daily Record, Chef Pete Gottgens planted Riesling vines four years ago. If the weather this summer cooperates he will make a Riesling wine. The article was complimentary until […]

Recipes for Super Bowl and Snowpocalypse that Use Wine as an Ingredient

February 7, 2010 – 9:15 am

In Maryland we are buried under two to three feet of snow. I have a lot of shoveling to do to reach the street that isn’t plowed yet. Since it will take a couple of days, I won’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. Cooking with a slow cooker is perfect. […]

Hunker Down with Wine and Food

February 6, 2010 – 9:17 am

We have been told to hunker down and wait. I expect our street won’t see a plow until tomorrow if then. With ten more inches of snow to fall we probably won’t shovel the 300 foot driveway until tomorrow at the earliest. So the time affords an opportunity to cook with wine. The very first […]

7:30 am Buried

February 6, 2010 – 7:34 am

The 14 1/2″ wine bottle is completely buried. I didn’t post a picture, just look at a blank sheet of white paper. However the picture below is a photo of the top cordon of a grape vine. This is the most snow that has blanketed the vines.

8:00 pm About Half Covered

February 5, 2010 – 8:13 pm

The snow has covered about half of the 14 1/2″ wine bottle. It is now falling at a rate of about one inch an hour. It’s days like today that I wish I was visiting wineries in New Zealand.

5:15 pm Up a Couple More Inches

February 5, 2010 – 5:29 pm

The snow continues and is now sticking to everything including people. Soon, I’ll have to start removing it so I can get to the wood pile that helps to keep the house around 70º. As daylight fades you notice an artscape that can only be painted by nature. The grapevines have a one-inch blanket on […]

3:45 pm EST Accumulation on Ground

February 5, 2010 – 3:49 pm

The snow’s intensity for the last three hours has increased. It is now sticking to trees, shrubs, wine bottles and wine glasses. Compare the two photos. The few pieces of grass are now covered and the bottom one inch of the label is covered.  Luckily, here in Howard County the snow is not sticking to roads […]

11:00 am EST Light Snow Begins

February 5, 2010 – 11:04 am

It is hard to imagine that last winter I never used the shovel in central Maryland. There was a shoveable snow, but I had the pleasure to be in Temecula at the time eating outdoors every day. I’m making up for it this year. A 16″+ snow before Christmas. Some lighter snowfalls in January. Last […]

Chambourcin Ages Well

December 29, 2009 – 9:14 am

I am somewhat reluctant taking a hybrid grape wine to a family gathering. When the majority of wine drinkers drink Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Malbec and a Chianti introducing an east coast Chambourcin was a gamble. However, I had a 1997 Chambourcin by Naylor Wine Cellars called Seductivo that I was curious about drinking with […]
