Tawny port cheese pairing

We are going to give a holiday bottle of tawny port to several of our close friends. What would be a great cheese to go with the gift?

Opinion - Optimum life of white wine

I would appreciate some good advice from those who follow this column with more knowledge than I concerning the life of white wine kept in a conditioned cellar. Particularly Burgundy, wines from Campania, and Reislings. Thanks.

Best Wine Shops in the US

Tim's is great in Orlando. A varied selection, with many good value bottles. They are extremely helpful.

Best 100 bottle wine cooler

I have had a U line with about half that capacity that has performed well for ten years. It is very quiet as well.

Chorizo source

I have not been satisfied with the chorizo I have found in Orlando. Sorta bland.

What cut of beef should I buy to grind at home for burgers?

We think the Alton Brown recipe using sirloin and chuck lightly ground in a food processor is great! He suggests a little kosher salt and let chill for two hours in the fridge after mixing. Try it......

Bottle missing its cork

I recently had a similar experience. About a month ago I opened bottle of 2004 White Burgundy. There was no cork, normal ullage and the wine was fine. My first experience in forty years of drinking wine.

Wine Pairings for Piemonte themed dinner

I am hosting a dinner this weekend focusing on regional dishes and wines from the Piemonte. I have some good ideas about the wine selections, but would be very interested in other thoughts from the readers of this great blog. The menu will be an Antipasti course of prosciutto, speck, robiola boscina, olives and grilled eggplant. Next course to be a small fritatta with eggplant. The main course to be osso buco with saffron orzo with some bitter greens . Dessert is unresolved. Again, would appreciate your thoughtful suggestions.

Changes at DoDiYos

I heard a rumor that the chef has left at Do Di Yo's? Any truth to that? Hope not, always enjoyed eating there.

Freisa

We were served the Freisa with salami and spinach cakes at a very small vinyard near Asti. It was delightful.

Freisa

I was recently in Piemonte and was served a light red wine called Freisa. I thought it was interesting, very aromatic and worthy of some research. I would appreciate any comments from those who are more familiar regarding pairings, history, etc. Thanks!
