  • Alef Salami – Holding Onto Tradition

    Comments Off on Alef Salami – Holding Onto Tradition
    Founded in Chicago in 2000, the Alef Salami Company has become one of the top producers of high quality eastern European style salami’s in the states. Focusing on Russian and Ukrainian, recipes they hold as close to tradition as possible.

    Comments Off on That Time I Spelled Frog In A Spelling Bee, F-O-R-G…

    ​

    ​Recently, Todd and I got to revisit the wines of Frog’s Leap with our good friend and Vintner Select rep Lauren Wiethe.  The wines of Frog’s Leap have been around awhile.  Beginning in 1981, the wild ride of life that is John Williams begins in Napa Valley.  This solar-powered winery has been turning out consistently great wines over 30 years, and sometimes, as a retailer you forget about wines that are just always good.

    Comments Off on Grand Cru X 2

    French wine.  Someone had asked me about a particular wine, and the note they gave, albeit rife with misspellings, I knew right away what it was.  And I found myself, as I am prone to do, in giving a kind-of mini-lecture on the subject.  I feel sometimes like I can sound a bit William Shatner, although a more slightly inebriated and hallucinating version of the actor, delivering my minilecture as if recreating a scene from Mr. Read article
