Your personal background.
It's easy to understand why chicken wings are so popular (as if all that crisp skin weren't enough of a reason).

Economical and sold in just about every market, they capture the
essence of relaxed entertaining: it's hard to stand on ceremony while eating with your fingers.
Anyone who has ever visited the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles will understand how this great-tasting hors d'oeuvre got its name.
The recipe came to us from reader Metta Miller, from Boston, and it's a staff favorite.
Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Arrange wings in one layer in a large roasting pan. Combine
remaining ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over moderately low heat, stirring,
until sugar is dissolved. Pour evenly over wings. Bake for 45 minutes.

Turn wings over and bake until sauce is thick and sticky, 1 hour to
1 hour and 10 minutes more. Transfer wings to a platter.



After a few days of extremely vigorous fermentation characterised by a
heavy frothing, the processes slows down to a steady bubbling, which
will last two to three weeks. Eventually, the fermentation slows down to the occasional bubble, or stops completely.
All the dissolved sugar has been converted to alcohol. There
is still some sugar left, but the must now exceeds the yeast's alcohol tolerance.
Occasionally, fermentation can stop early, but this shouldn't happen with a good yeast
and a balanced must. Also by Paraglider, this hub takes you through the steps of making your own red or white
table wine, using a minimum of equipment and no chemical additives.

I've read a lot of your articles here and have learned
a lot from them. I take your point re plastic but, when I started
winemaking I put the word about a bit and I'm now up
to my arse in free demi-johns! Back to the VWP! Hi Barafundle - you only have 5 years on me!
I worry less about sterilisation nowadays than I
used to.


In the old days of glass demijohns, cork or rubber bungs, fermentation traps, rubber tubing, you really had to be careful.
Now, I ferment in new 5-litre plastic drinking water vessels and bottle in new 50cl
plastic drinking water bottles. Always start a brew with an active yeast starter
to ensure a quick start. The loosely fitted screw
cap is all the fermentation trap you need. Check out my "How to Make Wine from Grape Juice" for my [url=http://www.langatun.ch/en/whisky/grappa-brandy.html?alcvolumenbereich=131 set aside to cool to lukewarm. Add the egg yolks to the strained vinegar and whisk to blend. Place the small pan over a slightly larger pan of hot water and continue whisking. Add the soft butter, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking until the sauce thickens and all the butter has been added. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and the cayenne. Stir in the herbs. Serve with steak or fish. If the sauce separates, stir over hot water until smooth.


On May 5th, I had the pleasure of attending a Greek Wine Tasting Party hosted at the iYellow Wine Cave. The evening was filled with Greek fare such as olives, cheese, dessert, and other traditional Greek foods that were served alongside more than 30 Greek wines. In attendance were principals of the wineries, including winemakers, who made the trek all the way from Greece. One such gentleman was Yiannis Flerianos, winemaker at Panagiotopoulos Wines. Panagiotopoulos Wines is located in Messinia, in the southwestern part of Peloponnese. They farm organically indigenous and international grape varieties at an altitude of 400 metres above sea level.


One of the 4 wines that Mr. Flerianos brought with him was made using the local Malagousia grape - a wine that was my favourite white wine of the night. Yiannis also brought an organic 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon that showed minimal greenness and fine maturity. Both of these wines are reviewed below. When I met Mr. Flerianos earlier this month, he mentioned that they did not have representation in our market. For any Agents looking to add a Greek winery that produces yummy wines, some of which are organic, to their portfolio, take a look at Panagiotopoulos Wines. After having enjoyed the Cavino Grande Reserve during my Greek Wine series back in April, I was curious to see what else Cavino had to offer.


On this night, in addition to the Grande Reserve, they also had their Reserve bottling and the premium Mega Spileo Grand Cave Red. Wine reviews of both of these delicious wines are found below, and can be purchased via their agent United Stars. Most of the wines available for tasting on this night were available on Consignment, while a few could be found in the LCBO General List and VINTAGES sections. 13.95 (1.5 Litre) and make for good every day or party wines. Overall, my impression of Greek wines is good value for money when using local grape varieties. And I hope they continue to produce these delicious wines and that the LCBO continuously brings them to Ontario. A recent initiative by the LCBO to launch regional specialty wine shops will certainly go a long way to help this cause.


The first such store is located on the Danforth and features roughly 90 Greek wines. Below, you will find wine reviews of some of the wines I enjoyed at this tasting. And lastly, thank you to Angela Aiello and the iYellow team for the invite, and Ariel Andres for providing some of these photos. Medium-high aromatics featuring orange, citrus, and wild herb notes.

It's dry on the palate with balanced acids and herb, limestone,
hay flavour profile. Excellent length on the finish.

Aromas of medium-to-high intensity showing plum,
milk chocolate, wet earth and cedar. It has refined tannins, balanced acids and
a long finish.


Made with organic grapes. The palate is medium-to-full bodied
with very nice aroma replays. It has refined tannins and a very long finish.
Red wine blend of 85% Refosco and 15% Mavrodaphne.
Medium intensity nose with currant, vanilla, oak, bretty
and smoke. Medium-bodied palate with fresh acids and a balanced flavour profile consisting
of red fruit and leather. It's dry with somewhat firm, yet integrated tannins and medium-long finish
with steely aftertaste. It's medium-bodied and feels plumpy in the
mouth. Dry (i.e. not sweet) and lengthy finish. Palate has low tannins with nice aroma replays,
and good freshness from the acidity. Blend
of 60% Mavrodafne and 40% Mavro Kalavritino.

Medium-to-high intensity aromatics featuring black fruits, earthy,
dark cherries, barnyard and dried flowers. It's full-bodied with smooth, integrated tannins and pleasing aroma replays.
It also has mouth-watering acids and a very long finish.
The palate is dry with fresh, bright acids and very
nice aroma replays with predominantly herbal notes.
It has a slightly chalky mineral texture and a medium-long
finish. I would expect this vintage to show up in LCBO VINTAGES at some point this year.



You'd like to serve a great white wine for your guests, but don't know how to choose the right
one? I might be able to help you! In this article I will share some
of my knowledge so you can choose the best white wine for your occasion. There are a few main white wine types
that you are likely to find in the store. They are Chardonnay,
Sauvingnon Blanc, Picot Grigio and Riesling. These varieties are actually
types of grapes, all which grow in different regions and have different properties,
hence making wine made from them different, too. Sometimes, you
will hear of white wines referred to by the names of regions where they are being made.
