It was great…my wife loved it. Even my 6 year old was a little curious about what I was making! No Tempier so we went with a basic Burgundy imported by Neil Rosenthal (another one of my favorite importers). Let us know when you make it to Houston.-Jason

Love the high brow/low brow juxtaposition. I contacted Grant Achatz on Twitter to ask him how he would prepare a cheeseburger if it were on the menu at Alinea. He has yet to reply w/his recipe;-).

Jason, great to hear from you as always: did you get the nacho recipe?

Kermit, wow, thanks so much for the comment and for the recipe! I’ll have to make it for Tracie B.

Danny, Moore Brothers is an awesome store… Always dug the selection there… especially the French.

Stuart, I was just thinking of you the other day when I listened to some Neil Young… I know Andrea Sottimano… he’s a good guy… Psyched to see you at the show in LA on May 9: Amos and Sean will be there too! As will my Southern Belle… :-)

Melanie (Eating for Beginners), I think you sniffed out my bizarre out-of-body experience when I actually thought for a moment that our country is indeed interesting… You, Noah, Tracie B, and I share that experience of having lived in Europe and the monotone that it can be in terms of culinary options. I remember I once I brought some Brunello di Montalcino to colleagues in Modena and they told me I was crazy. The supremacy of their cuisine caused scorbutic myopia. Thanks for stopping by.

Tracie B, all I can say is that my whole world tasted vanilla until you were in it… I’m totally hooked on Idol! Who knew?

Over the past year living in Europe, I’ve had a lot of occasions to realize that things that seem very normal to Americans because our country is so huge and various (mixed marriages, many cuisines, the list goes on), are things that many people here can’t even conceive of (not that these countries don’t have many things America is missing–it’s not a question of better, just different. And not that there aren’t exceptions to what I just said…anyway). Of course this leads to awful things, too, like the re-election of Bush when half the country wanted him jailed for war crimes, but so it goes. As bad off as America is right now, I do think we’re still pretty interesting.

Glad to see you are doing well. Did you get rich and go to Texas?? Looks like you found a southern belle.
Bandol and nachos sounds fantastic. For me it was Idol and Langhe last night. Had a chicken breast with fresh sage leaves pressed onto it and “poached” in olive oil, accompanied with curried cauliflower and peas with fresh basil and garlic.
Had this with the ’06 Sottimano Langhe Nebbiolo. Very nice indeed-Sweet red fruit with a floral component and nice fine grained tannins.
Thanks for the link to Kermit’s blog, will be sure to check in on that. I have consumed an ocean of his selections over the years.

I am pretty sure I can make the show at Spaceland and look forward to seeing you.

Cheers,
Stuart

A glass is all you need to be transported to the south of France.

If you are looking for another damn good rosato look for this. http://www.wineaccess.com/store/moorebrothersny/ecommerce/product.html?product_id=11118070

No, not buttered popcorn. To really make the wine and popcorn work wonders, I use olive oil, salt, and dried thyme stirred into the popped corn. A hit of Provence.
